Useful record of old customs
Plenty of interesting informationFirst half focus on rural rather than agricultural customsGood insights especially origins of superstitions and imitationsJust started second half of book and as a farmer looking forward to itTendency to repeat himself... never mind

captures a lost world
anyone with farming ancestors, particularly from Suffolk, will find a mine of information on the reality of farming life before mechanisation - a wonderful read
