Weird Britannia
Or Eerie Albion if you will. Perhaps even These Haunted Isles. Whatever title you wish to apply, here's a new display of stack books in Exeter Library which explores the strangeness which is never too far from the surface in these myth and magic soaked islands. Here are stone circles and barrows, ruined abbeys and old Reformation scarred churches, magical landscapes and the spirit of place, echoes of ancient rites and rituals reinvented, folklore and calendar customs, tales of the supernatural and the British surreal, ingrained eccentricity and insular oddity, druids and diviners, peasant poets and movie dreamers, homegrown mystics and visionary artists. All the variegated substrata which go to make up the many-layered matter of Britain.
