The turnip lantern came before the pumpkin. The soul caker's bag came before the trick-or-treat bucket. Behind every familiar autumn custom lies an older object — stranger, harder to carve, and embedded in a system of debts the modern season has quietly forgotten.
This book traces autumn's material culture across the British Isles and beyond, from Michaelmas hiring fairs and apple divination to Obon altars, mumming processions, and the last bonfires of November. It finds a season governed not by nostalgia but by negotiation: who owes what, to whom, and by when.
The third in a series of seasonal folklore microhistories — a practical, object-level history of the quarter when the ledger closed and the year turned.
