by Steve Roud - £14.99  Penguin Books Ltd (2008)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780141021065 | ISBN 10: 0141021063

This enthralling book will take you, month-by-month, day-by-day, through all the festivities of English life.
 
From national celebrations such as New Year’s Eve to regional customs such as the Padstow Hobby Horse procession, cheese rolling in Gloucestershire and Easter Monday bottle kicking in Leeds, it explains how they originated, what they mean and when they occur.
 
A fascinating guide to the richness of our heritage and the sometimes eccentric nature of life in England, The English Year offers a unique chronological view of our social customs and attitudes.
