Arcadia Britannica: A Modern British Folklore Portrait

Arcadia Britannica  
This is a collection of photographs taken by Henry Bourne at many British folklore festivals. These festivals are well known for not only their music and story telling, but also the wonderful display of costumes worn by the revelers. 
 
This isn't a book you pick up to read. As another reviewer stated, it is a ‘coffee table book'. There is a short introduction at the beginning of the book but other than that, it is full of colorful photographs of various costumes depicting modern day interpretations of British folklore. 
 
While looking through this book the first thing that popped through my head was...Look at all the wonderful costume ideas. I am already putting some of the costumes onto pattern. 

UPDATE: EVERYONE WHO COMES TO MY HOUSE PICKS THIS UP TO LOOK AT. LAST SATURDAY, WE HAD A BBQ PARTY. WE ENDED OUTSIDE AT THE PICNIC TABLE PASSING THIS BOOK AROUND AND RESEARCHING ALL THE FOLKLORE THAT INSPIRED THE MANY COSTUMES. TWO HOURS OF ENTERTAINMENT THAT NOT ONLY HELD THE ADULTS ATTENENTION, BUT THE KIDS ALSO. WE ALL HAD A GREAT TIME.
