Description

Explore the hidden side of the festive season with The Dead of Winter by Sarah Clegg. While many associate midwinter with warmth and light, this book looks beneath the surface of holiday cheer to find the darker traditions and unsettling lore that have shaped human history for centuries. Through a journey across different cultures, you will discover the lesser-known rituals that define the season. From the English mummers plays and the intense Austrian Krampus runs to the pagan traditions observed at Stonehenge, this collection uncovers the strange customs that exist in the shadows of the holidays. You will also learn about unique celebrations like the Finnish St. Lucy tradition, where young girls are crowned with candles. This book is perfect for readers interested in mythology, folklore, and the seasonal shifts of human belief. It provides a deep look into how people have historically navigated the darkness of winter through ritual and myth. Granta Books brings you a fascinating study of the demons, witches, and ghosts that haunt the midwinter period.
