			Introduction

	Behind the modern façade of Britain in the 1920s is a country teeming with links to the supernatural. British folklore harkens back to days of old when early cultures lived alongside strange folk and stranger creatures, when druids and shamans made sacrifices to pantheons of gods both powerful and terrible, and when people celebrated myth and legend in song, art, and oral tradition at the very heart of their civilizations. And those deep roots that so colourfully tell of fantastical creatures, miraculous events, and wondrous deeds also hint and grasp blindly at darker truths. The truth is that folklore can take us behind the veil of reality to glimpse the terrible, alien truths of the universe beyond, capturing vague notions of evil, malevolent beings, their horrible deeds, and the primal fears that they inspire and that have been preserved in Britain’s cultural memory.		Folklore: A Closer Look

	~~''Cthulhu Britanica:~~ Folklore'' presents a uniquely British vision of Lovecraftian horror where fairies, witches, and folk traditions intertwine with the dreadful, eldritch powers and otherworldly terrors of the Cthulhu Mythos. The book features:		What is Folklore?

	* A folklore bestiary, including fairy folk, shape-shifters, giants, little folk, black dogs, dragons, water horses, bodily horrors, and much more		Folklore in 1920s Britain
	* A folklore calendar and a new 1920s ~~profession—the folklorist—for players~~
	* Detailed sections on using folklore and folk magic for Call of Cthulhu Keepers
	* And nine Folklore Mythos threats that can introduced into any scenario or campaign, or used as single-session scenarios

			Using Folklore in Call of Cthulhu Games
			* Using Folklore - Placement and Role
			* Using Folklore - Relationship to the Mythos 17

	--		Using Folk Magic in Call of Cthulhu Games
			* Folk Magic as Derivative Mythos Magic
			* Folk Magic as Non-Mythos Magic
			* Folk Medicine

	The Islands of the United Kingdom are steeped in history, myth, magic and folklore. Even the smallest hamlet or the most remote piece of land has some event or some story linked to it and, even if it doesn’t, people are more than willing to make one up for you.		A Folklore Bestiary
			* Fairy Folk
			* Sea Folk
			* Little Folk
			* Big Folk
			* Magic-wielding Humans
			* Shape-Shifters
			* Bodily Horrors
			* Ghosts and Spirits
			* Black Dogs
			* Water Horses
			* Dragons
			* The Wild Hunt

	Discerning the facts from all of these many layers of myth, history and retelling is the scholarly work of a lifetime. It is as dangerous to sanity as any other study of the Mythos, as one creeps ever closer to the terrible truth.		The Folklore Calendar

	~~Cthulhu Britannica:~~ Folklore ~~gives life to strange tales and strange places where myth meets mythos in Britain's darkest corners, including:~~		The Folklore Year

	* ~~Screaming Skulls~~		Old Ones and Old Gods
	* The ~~Wild Hunt~~
	* ~~Worms and Dragons~~		Mythos Entities to Consider
	* ~~Wreckers,~~ Body ~~Snatchers and more~~
			Folklore Mythos Threats
			* The Beast of Bodmin
			* Head Over Heels
			* The Writhing Hill
			* The Horror Out of Time
			* Daughters of the Sea
			* The Body Politic
			* Wedded to the Deep
			* The Company of Wolves
			* The Black Spring Gate

	~~List dedication~~, ~~color plates~~, ~~rarity~~ of the ~~book, etc~~.		Cthulhu Britannica: Folklore was first submitted to [[Cubicle 7]] in 2009. Desborough's original manuscript went through a number of changes and edits over a three year period and a series of contributing authors were brought on board to flesh out the project. In late 2012, the book was re-edited, re-structured, and numerous additional elements (e.g. Folklore: A Closer Look, Using Folklore in Call of Cthulhu Games, Using Folk Magic, The Folklore Calendar, and much of the Bestiary) were added by [[Stuart Boon]] to produce the final product.
