We're delighted to have Owen Davies and Ceri Houlbrook joining us in conversation with fellow author Stu Hennigan to talk about their book, Folklore.
The event will be taking place on the 25th of September at 7pm.
Folklore is A gripping guide to the weird yet everyday world of British folklore. In this ground-breaking book, two leading experts provide the definitive guide to British folklore past and present. Owen Davies and Ceri Houlbrook explore folklore in all its remarkable variations, from village rituals and fairy tales to UFO legends and internet fanfiction. Travelling through a landscape of witches, wizards and wicker men, they reveal how folklore has been researched and written about in the past and show how it continues to be lived in the present. At the same time, they provide the reader with a valuable toolkit for understanding how to interpret the diverse examples given. The book’s key message is that folklore is much more than the fossilised remains of a distant, rural past. Folklore is and always has been ubiquitous, dynamic and political. It is a living tradition that draws from many sources, including migrant communities, and is forever being renewed and updated.
Stu Hennigan is a writer, poet and musician from the north of England. His book Ghost Signs (Bluemoose, 2022) was shortlisted for two national literary awards including Best Book By A Non-Parliamentarian at the Parliamentary Book Awards in 2023. His debut novel Keshed will be released in February 2026, followed by Disappear Here, his landmark study of American culture and society analysed through the novels of Bret Easton Ellis, in 2027, both with Ortac Press. His short fiction, essays, poetry, criticism and journalism have been published widely in print and online. He also plays guitar in the rock band Kamień.
