In Britains Folklore Year , Mark Norman takes readers on a seasonal journey through the customs, celebrations and rituals that shape our cultural identity.

Its a fascinating guide for anyone curious about the roots of our seasonal customs, and a celebration of the quirky, heartfelt, and sometimes bizarre ways communities mark the passage of time.
Together, Mark and Tracey Norman also explore the darker side of Devons past in Devons Forgotten Witches 18601 91 0, uncovering long-lost cases of witchcraft hidden in the British Newspaper Archive. These storiestragic, mysterious, and often inexplicableshine a light on the lives of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary accusations. Drawing on original press reports and historical context, the book offers a compelling look at how superstition, fear, and folklore shaped real lives in Victorian and Edwardian Devon.
