I was delighted to discover Lost Lore: A Celebration of Traditional Wisdom. Want to know how to send or read smoke signals? Looking for the Christmas traditions our ancestors enjoyed? Or maybe how to navigate with old-school maritime instruments? Well, likely not, I suppose. But anyway, you'll find all that, and more, in this treasure chest assembled by authors Una McGovern and Paul Jenner. You'll even find a section on letter writing, another gentle art vanishing in the age of instant communication. I found the letter writing section especially fascinating. I now want to go out and buy sealing wax with a custom seal, fine paper, and scented ink. If I can't find the scented ink, no worries. Lost Lore tells me how to make it.
