book review

Charlie the link I provided is actually an excerpt from a published book by JR DAESCHNER. He tries to analyse the origins of traditional events celebrated in UK.

He says it is his firsthand account of Padstow.

It looks like a made up site....but the above link is the Guardian's review of the book, and it is for sale at Amazon, amongst other places. I would still be interested if someone who has also attended that particular festival could refute his experiences?
