19484 vols., 8vo., First Editions, with 4 frontispieces, very numerous plates and illustrations in the text, and endpaper maps; cloth, gilt backs, a very good, clean set in the dustwrapper (one price-clipped). Wymer's delightful sequence, covering virtually the whole of England, is neither a gazetteer nor the usual rural eulogy. Rather, he sets out to compare and contrast traditional variations between one county and another, emphasising industries, customs, superstitions, legends, folklore and, above all, people. It is an unusual approach, based on a charming prose style and enhanced by evocative illustrations both photographic and line. A lovely set, and uncommon in this condition

2014ill., br. Questo volume nasce dalla collaborazione fra due persone molto diverse, un magistrato in prima linea nel lavoro quotidiano e un'artista-giardiniere, che vive in campagna nella sua casa-atelier. A unire i due autori è la Liguria, l'amore fortissimo, ma non cieco, e per questo più autentico, per la propria terra. Dal loro incontro nasce un lavoro che è un garbato invito, in tempi di massificazione, a non perdere le radici di una cultura popolare, ricca di saggezza, pervasa di ironia, di umorismo talvolta caustico ed irriverente. La saggezza ligure trova espressione originale proprio nei proverbi e nei modi di dire, prevalentemente riconducibili ai contesti contadino e marinaro. Recuperati con pazienza e passione da Fiorenza Giorgi nel suo lavoro di "memoria" e illustrati con garbo e ironia da Dino Gambetta i proverbi testimoniano una saggezza popolare, ricca e stuzzicante, che offre mille spunti di riflessione e di piacevole divertimento. Fiera di appartenere ad una terra aspra e vulnerabile, di meravigliosa ma fragile bellezza, Fiorenza Giorgi si fa paladina della sua cultura popolare con leggerezza ed intelligenza, con amore e gratitudine.

2022About The Book : This book provides a sample of Santal folk-tales taken from the oral literature of the people and prepared for the author in written form in (Santali). The present received this first introduction to folk-tales through an old nurse. When the author came to Mohulpahari, he got some more tales from an elderly guru, named Phagu from village of Dhaka, near Mohulpahari, the same man who has furnished the songs printed in the book. Who also dictated to me a much more circumstantial version to the traditions than that found in the book. About The Author : Paul Olaf Bodding (1865 – 1938) was a Norwegian missionary, linguist and folklorist. In 1890, he arrived in Santalistan (Santal Parganas) as a missionary priest. When Skrefsrud died in 1909, Bodding took over as the leader of the Norwegian missionary organization Santaline Mission (Den norske Santalmisjon). He served in India for 44 years (1889–1933), and operated mainly from the town Dumka in the Santhal Parganas-district. Bodding created the first alphabet and wrote the first grammar for the Santali-speaking native people in eastern India. In 1914 he also completed the translation of the Bible into the Santali language. He was also a celebrated scientist, and he is still well known among the santals living in the states of Jharkhand, Bihar and Assam as well as in Bangladesh and the Scandinavian countries. After returning from India in 1934, Bodding settled with his Danish-born wife Christine Larsen (1883–1940) in Odense, Denmark, where he died during 1938.
