This was an interesting look at traditions from years gone by. Its a short snippet about each event and layed out through the seasons. There's also a handy breakdown of events for each month that still happen. The illustrations were good and i can imagine even better in a physical copy. This is one of those books that reads better phsyically then electronically. It was well laid out and had enough detail in it. #Netgalley 4*
