Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Norfolk Garland: A Collection of the Supertitious Beliefs and Practices, Proverbs, Curious Customs, Ballads and Songs, of the People of Norfolk, as Well as Anecdotes Illustrative of the Genius or Peculiarities of Norfolk Celebrities Norfolk is rich in legendary lore and it has often been mentioned with regret that no general attempt has been made to note down those legends, beliefs, and practices that have been transmitted to us from remote antiquity, and which are fast disappearing. I have endeavoured in this volume to present in a collected form a mass of those traditions that have from time immemorial been floating among the peasantry of this county. This "folk lore" as it has been aptly termed, will often be found to exhibit beautiful touches of a loving nature as well as fine poetic feeling, and will go far to illustrate the habits and manners of our forefathers. Besides the "Folk Lore," I have from various out-of-the-way sources collected much curious information illustrating customs and local usages now obsolete; songs and ballads belonging to the county that reflect the superstitions of the people, or are remarkable for their historic or heroic character; and anecdotes which photograph, as it were, the habits and the dispositions of many of those of whom Norfolk men and women have reason to be proud; the whole forming a volume of miscellanies that I trust will be welcome to all lovers of East Anglian literature.
