Essex - the witch hunting county - is especially rich in
traditions, legends, dialect and stories that have been handed down
through the ages. It is these traditions that are gathered together
in this volume and whose origins and meanings are explored to
create a sense of how the customs of the past have influenced the
ways of the present. This fully illustrated study of folklore
rediscovers those traditions that have either vanished, been
ignored or hidden away. There are tales of dragons and warriors,
literary folk and legendary folk, but always at the heart of Essex
folklore are the traditional beliefs, stories, events and customs
of the common people. Daily life itself contained numerous beliefs
and maxims, omens and superstitions, as well as being full of
music, dance and song.
