Every spring, someone lights a fire, walks a boundary, ties a thread to a blossoming tree, or scrubs a doorstep until the stone shows white.
The folklore of the season is richer, stranger, and more physically demanding than its reputation suggests. From painted eggs in Eastern Europe to hobby horse processions in Cornwall, from Walpurgis Night bonfires in Sweden to the candlelit search for bread crumbs on the night before Passover, Amelia Wren traces the material culture of spring across wells dressed with flower petals, boundaries walked on foot, birds tracked as living calendars, and bread braided for reasons no one can quite remember but no one is willing to stop.
This is a book about attention — how communities pay it, what tools they use, and why the payment must be renewed each year.
