The collection includes tales acquired from more than 30 years studying and taking part in ancient seasonal customs, and discovering the folk tales intrinsically linked to those customs, such as the Ottery St Mary Tar Barrels (Devon), the Viking \"Up Helly Aa\" (Shetland), and the Haxey Hood Game (Lincolnshire).
