Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Ever heard of Bog Snorkelling, BonfireNight, Cheese Rolling, and Haxey Hood?Britain has many well documented, yet strange traditions just like those! This book describes forty more traditions in a similar vein, all of which are less well known, because I made them up, they are fiction. Read about Turtle Rinsing in London, Arrow Catching in Staffordshire, and Animal Gambling in the Forest of Dean. Discover where a Duck Quacking contest, a Pipe Cleaner Festival, and a Thimble Throwing competition take place. Marvel at people's spitting, blowing, and digging exploits.All the stories are distinct and can be read independently - some will even make you smile or just shake your head. The short stories will allow you to grab a spare five or ten minutes to discover the secrets of traditions like Biscuit Rolling.
