A book full of colourful stories, recipes and practical ideas which are fun to use at home and at school. It covers festivals from six different, major world faiths and ten varied cultures. A book to inform and help to bridge the divide between the different and unusual. Festivals Together will gently help to overcome predudice based on ignorance by encouraging discussion when adults and children share the stories and activities together.

This is the sort of book that you will lend to someone at work, only to have to buy it again when they fail to return it (because they want to keep it). It's hilarious, so don't read it on the bus or train unless you want the other passengers to think you are having a seizure.

I applaud 'Steve' Roud for a compilation breathtaking in its scope and eye-catching in its layout and attention to detail. I condemn him for including material - cynically I believe - with no connection whatever to the English year, and but for which this might have an excellent book.
Excellent it isn't, in spite of good writing, first-class illustrations (many in colour), and entries commendably devoid of the brevity - sometimes no more than a paragraph or two for obsolete festivals - which frequently blights publications of this kind. Highlights are many nevertheless. There is the Ashen Faggot of Devon (don't ask), Whipping Toms in Leicester (it would take too long), the alarmingly un-PC Bacup Coco-Nut Dancers and ...

I quite liked this book which is well laid out and has good diagrams and charts. It contains lots of useful information about special events, but what is not obvious from the cover is that is very orientated towards Australia. There are number of good case studies about Australian events, but you have to draw your own conclusions about how to use the material if you are somewhere else. The book is quite easy to follow and is not at all heavy-duty or hard going. However, it doesn't go into too much depth about the events business itself, and as a student, that would have been useful for me. Also the book doesn't encourage you to look elsewhere for material, unlike the one by Shone (A) and Parry (B) (which suggests things like weblinks). Read More: >>More Details |

Christmas Customs and Traditions: Their History and Significanceby: Clement A. Miles November 01, 1976 Best Selling > Books > Festivals and Celebrations |
||
|
This book was originally published in 1912 under the title "Christmas in Ritual and Tradition, Christian and Pagan". This Book not only covers Christmas, but Halloween and various Saint's Days. Mr. Miles does an interesting job of exploring the lore behind Christmas breads and cakes, the Yule log, decorating, and the Christmas Dramas of Europe and the British Isles, earlier this century. A quaint Northumberland ritual utilizing Holly leaves is presented from page 275 of this work: "....Nine leaves are taken up and tied with nine knots into a "handkerchief, and put under the pillow by a person who "desires prophetic dreams. "For this purpose smooth leaves ... Read More: >>More Details |

A Christmas Carol: Complete & Unabridged (Penguin Classics)by: Charles Dickens October 14, 1999 Best Selling > Books > Festivals and Celebrations |

I can't believe I haven't read this until now! Such a short and accessible book, but one that frightened me, made me laugh and cry, and positively dripped with Christmas spirit and goodwill.
It was atmospheric yet amusing, telling the familiar story of Ebenezer Scrooge and his physical and emotional journeys alongside the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet-To-Come. The terrible truths and moral messages uncovered on these journeys save Scrooge from a miserly existence doomed to end in loneliness and eternal despair, transforming it into one of happiness and generosity which will save more lives than his own. I can see why so many people have a tradition of reading it every December - maybe it'll become a tradition ... Read More: >>More Details |
