FOLKLORE RISING by Ben Edge

by: Ben Edge




This amazing, bright and vivid book by contemporary artist Ben Edge is ideal for anyone who loves the old folklore rituals and traditions of Britain. You can see the style of the paintings from the cover, which shows the Dorset Ooser, an ancient folklore character last seen in the 19th century. He covers both event and locations: from the Black Shuck and the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance to Waylands Smithy and the Rollright Stones. There are also colour photographs of the same rituals and locations plus words from Ben himself about them and his experiences there. All in all, the book is a glorious tribute to the richness of Britain and its heritage and it made my heart glow to see how people still put energy into these ancient manifestations.
