About the book >.>.> Comprehensive and engaging this colourful study covers the whole sweep of ritual history from the earliest written records to the present day. From May Day revels and Midsummer fires to Harvest Home and Hallowe’en to the twelve days of Christmas Ronald Hutton takes us on a fascinating journey through the ritual year in Britain.
