Features

28 Folklore, Myths and Legends of Britain (cover story)
Fifty years ago an unlikely publication from Reader's Digest began to turn up in houses across the country, bringing Britain's folklore to often terrifying life for a wide new readership. Billy Rough celebrates a key text of the Haunted Generation.

36 Stoned Love
Enys Men is an unsettling new film from director Mark Jenkin, and is steeped in the uncanny folklore of his native Cornwall. Bob Fischer meets him to talk mobile megaliths, fragmented time and unnerving memories of the Padstow 'Obby 'Oss.

40 Canine Cortege
Jan Bondeson explores the history of dog cemeteries, from the private graveyards where European nobles mourned their beloved pets to London's exclusive Hyde Park dog cemetery and the sprawling memorial parks of the contemporary USA.
