Open to any date and you’ll find a short, engaging entry rooted in folklore from around the world — covering animal and plant lore, love predictions, seasonal food and festivals, divination, anniversaries, weather lore and surprising customs. Some prompts are delightful micro-activities (stick your head out the window and watch the clouds), while others invite you to join in bigger community rituals (or at least learn about the giant chalk horses carved into hillsides).

Each daily snapshot encourages playful exploration and a deeper awareness of the ritual year. By following these customs and traditions, readers cultivate a stronger connection with the natural cycle of months and seasons and discover how each stretch of the year has its own character and practices.

• Rich variety: Entries include weather lore, food traditions, festivals, divination, zodiac notes and more.

• Educational uses: Great for teachers and librarians as a resource for seasonal lessons, creative writing prompts and cultural studies.

Liza Frank brings authentic experience and a playful voice to these pages. A former theatre and film backstage worker turned folklore writer and educator, she writes with practical knowledge and joyful curiosity — trusted by readers who enjoy blending creativity, learning and heritage. Praise from peers echoes this: Lia Leendertz (author of The Almanac) calls it “a joyful, eccentric and often downright weird book” she’ll keep by her bedside all year round.

Use Everyday Folklore for bedtime reading, classroom activities, seasonal party ideas or slow, deliberate living rituals. It’s a charming, practical hardcover edition that adds rhythm and wonder to ordinary days. Whether you’re buying for a curious friend, a teacher, or your own home library, this almanac works as a perfect gift, a timeless keepsake, and a reliable companion through the ritual year.
