A lengthy letter describing various children's lore. Mr. Coleman was
resident in a sheltered housing scheme at Selston, Notts., so the descriptions
relate to before the Great War.
Topics include; various sayings, mostly weather lore, notably relating to
Candlemas and November 23rd; letting the New Year in on New Year's Morning; and
the children's games of "Lurky", "Bulls Horns" and "Duck Stone".
