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.
