It is such a joy to find a book that seems to be esoteric but turns out to be both readable and enjoyable. The author looks at the year through the mirror of the four seasons taking each in turn. Looking at feast days, rituals, customs , many still recognisable today that are reflected across the Anglo-Saxon year through the words, and literature of the time – and all rooted in a close awareness and appreciation of the natural world.
