It's interesting and not a bad springboard for further study
One of the interesting tidbits is about the Feast of St Martin, on the 11th of November, p 143 "no wheel of any kind should be turned on Martinmas, be it millwheel, spinning-wheel or cartweel - not even the heel of a stocking should be turned, which meant that no woman should knit on this day." Knitters would understand that strange compulsion to get the heel done once you start into it!
Worth reading for general information, not terribly deep. ( )
