In England today we enjoy a rich diversity of folk traditions, many of which can trace their beginnings back hundreds of years. They stem from every phase of our antiquity and embody all the peoples who have traditionally enriched our culture. In this book we visit some of the best known examples, including mumming, cheese rolling, tree dressing, rushbearing, beating the bounds, flitch trials and Wassailing, among many other customs, festivals and traditions. Covering all aspects of English folklore and tradition, including myths, legends, traditional song and dance, games, seasonal events and calendar customs, this volume encompasses the history of many of England's best-loved folk traditions.

The tradition of English folklore tales is slowly fading away. The modern world and the challenges of survival are leading people to abandon their old beliefs and stories, with England being one of the places where this shift is happening the quickest. As these tales are being forgotten, the poetic essence of life is being lost. The editor of this volume has attempted to gather some of the finest examples of English Folklore. In particular, the nursery tales have been carefully chosen from the earliest versions available and with the aim to preserve their original form as much as possible. However, some modifications have been necessary in order to make the tales accessible to a contemporary audience.
