Lancashire Folklore is a comprehensive book that delves into the folklore and traditions of the county of Lancashire, located in the north-west of England. Written by John Harland, a renowned folklorist and antiquarian, the book provides a detailed account of the customs, beliefs, and superstitions of the people of Lancashire. The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a particular theme, such as legends, ballads, charms, and proverbs. It covers a wide range of topics, including local myths and legends, customs associated with birth, marriage, and death, traditional beliefs about the supernatural, and the use of charms and spells for protection and healing. Harland draws on a wealth of primary sources, including old manuscripts, ballads, and oral traditions, to provide a fascinating insight into the rich cultural heritage of Lancashire. He also includes detailed descriptions of local customs and practices, such as the annual rush-bearing ceremony, which involves the carrying of rushes to the local church to be laid on the floor. Overall, Lancashire Folklore is an engaging and informative book that will appeal to anyone interested in the history and culture of Lancashire, as well as those with an interest in folklore and traditional beliefs.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1867 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
