Jane Struthers has in this book collected together a vast array of
useful information including how to brew your own ale, navigate by the stars
and predict the weather. This book will also teach you what to plant in your
garden and when and how to recognise different birds and tell the phases of the
moon. The author also includes superstitions and old wives tales and explains
their origins and there are sections on recipes, games and traditions
throughout the year. This book is filled with the kind of knowledge which our
grandparents would have taken for granted but which through our reliance on
television and our indoor lifestyles has gradually been forgotten. So if you
have resolved this New Year to get out and explore more then this book is the
perfect companion.
