Viac o knihe

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.
