On this episode we hear from Lally Macbeth about her incredible compendium ‘The Lost Folk.’ The distillation of a lifetime’s passion, it is an inclusive and comprehensive take on the meaning of folk, that asks us to rediscover, to cherish and to share the particular and the weird from which all our communities are made.
From pub signs to tea towels, bonfires to storytellers, this is a book that holds the elusive, the unownable and the collective dear. The Lost Folk’s epigraph is the motto of the Federation of the Old Cornwall Societies - ‘Gather ye the fragments that are left, that nothing be lost.’ And that is unquestionably what Lally Macbeth has done here. Packed from cover to cover with stories and anecdotes, it mixes her own experiences with a treasure trove of customs, curios and finds.
‘An exceptionally thoughtful and beautifully written celebration of the creative power that lives and breathes within our communities.’
Maxine Peake
