Lally Macbeth – The Lost Folk: From the Forgotten Past to the Emerging Future of Folk

Folk culture is everywhere, sitting in our churches, swinging from our pubs and dancing through our streets, patiently waiting to be discovered, appreciated, and cherished. In The Lost Folk, Cornish writer Lally MacBeth is on a mission to breathe new life into these rapidly disappearing customs. Through encounters with fascinating people, places and objects, she reminds us that our folk heritage is so much more than Morris Dancing, Cheese Rolling and sea shanties.
