About

Mark and Tracey Norman will be discussing their latest books, reading from their work, and sharing captivating tales drawn from Britains rich folkloric traditions and Devons hidden witchcraft history.
In Britains Folklore Year , Mark Norman takes readers on a seasonal journey through the customs, celebrations and rituals that shape our cultural identity. From maypole dancing to worm-charming, and from wassailing to wife-carrying, this beautifully illustrated book reveals the origins of both well-known and obscure traditions across the UK. 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.
