Doc Rowe, May Day
'The month of May has a great number of traditions and customs which have adjusted over the years but a central element remains 'people partying' whether the tradition being celebtated is as well-known as Padstow May Day or small and disregarded like the Whitby Penny Hedge. The aim of this book is to introduce the reader to, and celebrate, the rich May heritage that exists in the British Isles and to give a guide to some events that may be visited and supported.
The author is probably Britain's best known and most assiduous recorder of folk events throughout the year, a serial fieldworker who has been revisiting events over a period of 40 years, documenting the inevitable changes in them'
