{"product_id":"the-folklore-of-devon-mark-norman-9781804131459","title":"The Folklore of Devon","description":"Devon has a long and rich folkloric heritage which has been extensively collected over many years. This book consolidates more than a century of research by eminent Devon folklorists into one valuable study and builds on the vital work that was undertaken by the Devonshire Association, providing insightful analysis of the subject matter and drawing comparisons with folklore traditions beyond the county. The first major work on Devon's folklore since Ralph Whitlock's short book published by the Folklore Society in the 1970s, this volume brings the subject into the twenty-first century with consideration of internet memes and modern lore, demonstrating that 'folklore' does not equate to 'old rural practice'. With chapters covering the history of Devon's folklore collecting, tales from the moors, the annual cycle, farming and the weather, the devil, fairies, hauntings, black dogs, witchcraft and modern lore, this will remain the standard work for many years to come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Norman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1804131458\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781804131459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Exeter Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.54d","brand":"Mark Norman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46199259988223,"sku":"9781804131459","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_47798350-93b5-4991-93a5-353e3116c2b1.jpg?v=1727925528","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-folklore-of-devon-mark-norman-9781804131459","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
