As featured in The New York Times... Throughout the history of
civilisation, traditional crafts have been passed down from hand to
skilled hand. Blacksmithing, brewing, beekeeping, baking, milling,
spinning, knitting and weaving: these skills held societies
together, and so too shaped their folklore and mythology. Exploring
the folklore connected with these rural crafts, Telling the Bees
examines the customs, superstitions and stories woven into some of
the world's oldest trades. From the spinning of the Fates to the
blacksmith's relationship with the devil, and the symbolism of John
Barleycorn to a ritual to create bees from the corpse of a cow -
these are the traditions upon which our modern world was built.
