-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
---
+Using Folk Magic in Call of Cthulhu Games
-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
-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

-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.
