An exploration of Kent's customs, tales, beliefs and traditions. Kent boasts a plethora of characterising traditions which include hop-growing, smuggling and saints. All this reflects the curious history and geography of the area. It is bounded by sea on three sides, has the longest coastline of any English county and was the base for much maritime activity. This included trade and invasions, which gave rise to communities rich in sea-lore. This book also covers topics such as seasonal customs including harvest traditions; drama; witchcraft, saints and holy wells; and the background and songs surrounding fruit and hop-growing. This book charts the traditional culture of a populous and culturally significant southern county. AUTHORS: Fran Doel MA & Dr Geoff Doel lecture in Cultural Studies for the Faculty of Humanities, University of Kent and have lectured extensively in adult education at various universities on literature, medieval and traditional culture. They are the authors of several books on aspects of traditional British Culture, including Worlds of Arthur and Robin Hood, both published by The History Press.
