The book is thick with information, a real brick of scholarship.
This may sound incredibly dull, but it's not: it's a fascinating study of customs we take for granted, exploding myths on practically every page. There are some chapters where the y-shit!'-to-paragraph" ratio is dangerously close to 1:1, like the chapter on Christmas.

Ben Lerner’s first novel, Leaving the Atocha Station, and the Hemingway classic The Sun Also Rises offer stark differences in the meaning of being an American. This partly follows the development of Spain, a country now known less for bullfights than for deconstructed foam appetizers. It is also, granted, a country that seems at risk of going bankrupt, as Mike Campbell did in The Sun Also Rises, two ways. gradually and then suddenly.
Comprehensive and engaging, this colourful study covers the whole sweep of ritual history from the earliest written records to the present day. From May Day revels and Midsummer fires, to Harvest Home and Hallowe'en, to the twelve days of Christmas, Ronald Hutton takes us on a fascinating journey through the ritual year in Britain. He challenges many common assumptions about the customs of the past, and debunks many myths surrounding festivals of the present, to illuminate the history of the calendar year we live by today.
