Polish Customs, Traditions, and Folklore

This book was a gift, and the receiver loved it. Wish there had been more pictures, but this is a most comprehensive book on Polish Customs, Traditions and Folklore. It came in excellent condition.

I chose this book to try and get a flavor of Polish customs for some projects I was writing on, and I was so pleased to find a treasure trove of the Polish heritage. This book is a goldmine. It's easy to read, and not necessary to read straight through. It covers all the feasts during the year, broken down by months, then it includes birth and death customs and Polish games and Pastimes for Children. My only "regret" is that when different Polish dishes or menus were mentioned that no recipes were given, but I guess that would have to be another volume. I highly recommend this book!

An excellent resource that brought back to mind many of the long-lost Polish traditions that my large ethnic maternal family practiced during my early years. I actually bought two copies...one for me and one for my oldest daughter Amanda, because she wanted to begin exploring her Polish roots (from which she gained, among other things, her beautiful looks and her gorgeous red hair!!!). Highly recommended book!!!

Good book for Polish customs throughout the year

Good read - lots of interesting historical information.

Not quite what I expected but informative.

I'm a native Polish speaker and even I learned a few things from this book. Excellent and interesting read.

A great book for people doing genealogical research on Polish ancestry, or anyone who simply wants to understand Polish culture. This really sheds light on the traditions of Polish people, by connecting those traditions with the cycle of the year. Very readable.

Well researched book on Polish customs, traditions and folklore.

Love it

A autora deste livro é consagrada nos estudos de folclore polonês e, nesta obra, traz informações sobre celebrações e festividades tradicionais da Polônia, bem como referências sobre crenças, práticas e costumes englobados dentro do folclore deste povo culturalmente rico. O livro é impresso em preto e branco, tem algumas ilustrações e capa dura. Senti falta de mais ilustrações e fotografias, mas o conteúdo compensa.
