Ben Edge is a rising star of the art world and the current folk revival. This is the first trade book of his art: an illustrated guide to the wildly popular folk customs of the British ritual year with over 200 of his paintings and photographs, along with real-life stories, anecdotes and legends. He talks about how connecting with our incredible living folklore helped him recover from depression, and also introduces his idea of folklore activism, suggesting that the current folk revival represents ordinary people’s desire to find new ways of envisioning community and caring for and connecting to nature.
Readers will be enchanted and inspired by the images and description of events such as the Padstow ‘Obby ‘Oss parade, the Burry Man’s Day and the Straw Bear of Whittlesea, as well as practices to celebrate the turning wheel of the year, from wassailing and well-dressing to moon-phase rituals and Beltane fire-making.
BEN EDGE’S paintings and film work depict the extraordinary lives of ordinary people. His Folklore Folklore series paintings were exhibited in the 2021 Ritual Britain exhibition, attracting over 10,000 visitors. Find out more on Instagram: @ben_edge_art

A spellbinding collection of 200 urban legends from around the world. Folklore and urban legend expert, Gail de Vos looks at the origin and development of contemporary and urban legends – how they are proliferated, adapted and changed across time and geography and what purpose, whether warning, amusement or propaganda, they have.
Tales include both traditional “campfire” or “college dorm” scare stories such as The Hook and the Pickled Hand; internet conspiracy theories such as chem trails and poisoned Halloween treats; and geographically specific stories such as haunted bridges in America, haunted tunnels in Japan and the Ghost of Kyiv. Gruesome, funny, scary or just plain bizarre, urban legends are a vital part of how we talk to each other and this book is the first popular work to bring them altogether.
GAIL DE VOS is an associate professor at Alberta University and author of several books on folklore and storytelling. She is the winner of numerous awards, including the Storytelling World Award and the Canadian Authors Association award. She regularly speaks at international folklore and storytelling conferences as an expert.
