"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.
