Household Lore is a delight to read. It should be the family bible for all supernaturally synched folk! ~ Johnny Mains, editor and author
A magical little book, both beautiful and fascinating, I loved it!” ~ Eleanor Morton, Writer and Comedian
Household Lore has something for everyone. Full of fascinating folklore, curious customs and traditional tales, this is a masterly anthology of our rituals and lore relating to the sacred space of our own homes. Full of her trademark stealth teaching and impeccable research, Liza Frank’s slightly naughty and irrepressible humour shines through on every page. Buy this book safe in the knowledge that your home will be the better for it, with the added bonus that you won’t be supernaturally interfered with while you slumber. ~ Mark Norman, Creator of the Folklore Podcast and Founder of the Folklore Library and Archive

Household Lore is a delightful exploration of the folklore hidden in your home. Entertaining and charming, it is a rich cornucopia of useful information that will lead you down wonderful rabbit holes from how to handle a cough (slices of garlic in your shoes), to dealing with a snoring partner (pop a lemon under their pillow). Try any of these at your own risk, but do try the book, which can be lightly snacked upon or hungrily devoured. Either way, Liza’s writing is always nourishing soul food. ~ Jenifer Toksvig, author and playwright
