"Old English Sports, Pastimes and Customs" is a historical treatise on the various sports and games that have been played in England over the centuries. The book aims to describe, in simple language, the holiday festivals as they occurred in each month of the year; and the sports, games, pastimes, and customs associated with these rural feasts. The games were those played most in the English villages and the author hopes to rekindle interest in what he terms, "the best features of old village life." English customs such as exchanging gifts on New Year's Day, fox hunts in February, Easter and Christmas traditions, as well as different country dances and sports.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
