Polish Customs, Traditions, and Folklore Hardcover – August 1, 1996

I ordered at least six of these to give his gifts with the Polish ornaments that I also bought through Amazon. There are great written book and anybody should have no hesitations about ordering it.

I purchased the paper back copy. Very interesting and informative. The writing and illustrations are excellent. I love the month by month approach. Worth every penny.

great book on ploish traditions, from Jan thru Dec. well wrote and nice to see that some of these customs are still alive today

Found out about the culture in detail

Some funny tales and lore, was looking for more about a specific area but that's on me.

This book was a gift, and the receiver loved it. Wish there had been more pictures, but this is a most comprehensive book on Polish Customs, Traditions and Folklore. It came in excellent condition.

I chose this book to try and get a flavor of Polish customs for some projects I was writing on, and I was so pleased to find a treasure trove of the Polish heritage. This book is a goldmine. It's easy to read, and not necessary to read straight through. It covers all the feasts during the year, broken down by months, then it includes birth and death customs and Polish games and Pastimes for Children. My only "regret" is that when different Polish dishes or menus were mentioned that no recipes were given, but I guess that would have to be another volume. I highly recommend this book!

An excellent resource that brought back to mind many of the long-lost Polish traditions that my large ethnic maternal family practiced during my early years. I actually bought two copies...one for me and one for my oldest daughter Amanda, because she wanted to begin exploring her Polish roots (from which she gained, among other things, her beautiful looks and her gorgeous red hair!!!). Highly recommended book!!!
