I enjoy all the Llewellyn holiday series books but this is one of the better ones. There are plenty of recipes, games, and projects for groups and families, mostly based on Pagan traditions from the UK. My favorite bits are the historical and mythical information about Lammas/Lughnasa and the comparisons with other, similar holidays throughout the world. A very fun book and series for those interested in Paganism for study and/or practice.
Excellent reference to the celebration of Lammas and other holidays around the world taking place in late July/Early August, including suggested activities, rituals, songs, and recipes for making your own celebration, if you so choose.
I got this book on interlibrary loan, so it had a shorter checkout period and I didn't get a chance to finish it. However, I'd definitely check it out again next Lammas-time and read through it again!
Another holiday for Pagans.
Wiccans will love this book, but I didn't because of its eclecticism.
