Book Description
How did our ancestors use the concept of demons to explain sleep paralysis? Is that carving in the porch of your local church really what you think it is? And what's that tapping noise on the roof of your car..? The fields of folklore have never been more popular – a recent resurgence of interest in traditional beliefs and customs, coupled with morbid curiosities in folk horror, historic witchcraft cases and our superstitious past, have led to an intersection of ideas that is driving people to seek out more information. Tracey Norman (author of the acclaimed play WITCH) and Mark Norman (creator of The Folklore Podcast) lead you on an exploration of those more salubrious facets of our past, highlighting those aspects of our cultural beliefs and social history that are less 'wicker basket' and more 'Wicker Man'.

Book Description
"We are all a little wild here with numerous projects of social reform," Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote in 1840 about the spirit of his time. "Not a reading man but has a draft of a new community in his waistcoat pocket." Almost a century later, five idealists, similarly committed to social reform, founded a new community, Camp Woodland, in upstate New York inspired by the spirit of their time. Some founders were educators. Others contributed administrative talents to the camp's operations. All were committed to racial and social justice and cultural diversity. Well before the currency of the Civil Rights Movement, Camp Woodland introduced a racially and ethnically diverse group of campers and staff into a traditional, rural community and succeeded in having its progressive vision accepted and embraced by its neighbors. How was a camp like Woodland able to become part of the rural community in which it was located? How did it earn the trust and acceptance of its mountain neighbors? And how was it able to harmonize potentially incompatible cultures? The Improbable Community tells the story of this achievement and recounts the collection of folk music, folklore and history by Camp Woodland that was an outgrowth of the friendships it formed.

Book Description
Once upon a time, most of Britain and Ireland was covered in woodland. Many of the trees have been cleared, but our connection with the wildwood remains. It is a place of danger, adventure and transformation, where anything could happen. Here is a collection of traditional folk tales of oak, ash and thorn; of hunting forests and rebellion, timber and triumph in battle, wild ghosts and woodwoses. Lisa Schneidau retells some of the old stories and relates them to the trees and forests in the landscape of our islands today.
