“Household Lore is a delightful exploration of the folklore hidden in your home. Entertaining and charming, it is a rich cornucopia of useful information that will lead you down wonderful rabbit holes from how to handle a cough (slices of garlic in your shoes), to dealing with a snoring partner (pop a lemon under their pillow). Try any of these at your own risk, but do try the book, which can be lightly snacked upon or hungrily devoured. Either way, Liza’s writing is always nourishing soul food.”
– Jenifer Toksvig, author and playwright
“Household Lore is a delight to read. It should be the family bible for all supernaturally synched folk!”
– Johnny Mains, editor and author
“Although the book is wry and written with a sparkly, affectionate sense of humour, the wisdom shines brightly and the stories serve to make household chores a lot more interesting.”
– The Green Parent Magazine
“Full of fascinating folklore, curious customs and traditional tales, this is a masterly anthology of our rituals and lore relating to the sacred space of our own homes.”
– Mark Norman, Creator of the Folklore Podcast and Founder of the Folklore Library and Archive
“A magical little book, both beautiful and fascinating, I loved it!”
– Eleanor Morton, Writer and Comedian
“Liza’s book is a delightfully irreverent compendium of domestic folklore and legend, and it will really make you think twice before feeding roasted mice to children.”
– James Shakeshaft & Alasdair Beckett-King (Loremen Podcast)
“I really enjoy reading Liza Frank’s work. It helps populate the air around you with new curiosity.”
