Household lore

Folklore, Traditions and Remedies For Every Room in Your Home

Liza Frank

A perfect gift, this fun illustrated book will take you room by room to discover global traditions, remedies, folklore and rituals hiding in your house.

Did you know when you move into a new home, you should sprinkle salt on the threshold and let the cat go in first? Did you know that
decorating a house with sea shells gives evil spirits somewhere to live, or that a houseleek planted on the roof will protect you from lightning strikes?

Welcome to household lore, where every room tells a story and every seemingly mundane corner holds a weird and wonderful secret. This beautiful collection of folklore, traditions and quirky history is the ideal companion to making any house a magical home.

LIZA FRANK holds a Masters in Folklore Studies and writes a blog
about ritual year folklore and how folklore can solve just about any problem. Liza is now on the list at BBC radio as ’The Folklore Expert’ and has appeared many times on BBC Sussex.
