The lakes and pine forests of Sweden are a natural setting for peasant arts and crafts, and these ,particularly the Swedish folk dances, are justly famous wherever such things are loved and appreciated. Though France is, above all, the land of civilized sophistication, the old popular traditions still live on in the countryside. In their folk dances, as their music and costume, the different regions present a rich variety. ‘Congress is dancing’ said the Prince de Ligne of the Congress of Vienna, and in 1814, when he made his famous quip, dancing was already part and parcel of Austrian life.

The author writes his summary on the back covers - The emergence of higher religions marks an important new departure in human history that they cannot be dealt with adequately in terms of the civilisations whose declines and falls have given rise to them. The higher religions are not just incidents in the histories of civilisations. It would be nearer the truth to look on the rises and falls of civilisations as being prepatory stages for the births of higher religions. Thus the higher religions carry us beyond the comparative study of civilisations. - this title is extremely thorough and is the perfect gift for any budding historian!","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39329454686295,"sku":"6716356","price":19.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/products\/orig_225518_jpg.jpg?v=1623424875"},{"product_id":"maps-brecon-beacons","title":"Maps: Brecon Beacons - OS","description":"\u003cbr\u003eTitle: Brecon Beacons\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Ordinance Survey\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: Undated\u003cbr\u003eCondition: This map is in a good condition for its age other than some minor signs of wear.

From soft butter and straw to muted mustard and ochre, these tones introduce colour in a way that feels considered and elegant rather than bold. Curated by the foot for tonal balance, yellow books brighten shelving, add contrast to neutral interiors, and pair beautifully with wood, stone, and linen textures. Their aged spines and gently faded hues soften the palette, adding character and depth. Ideal for designers seeking subtle impact, yellow vintage books create inviting, light-filled shelves with personality, warmth, and a quietly confident design sensibility. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 foot = 10-12 books \/ 12 inches of books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e½ foot = 5-6 books \/ 6 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease note: Stock images show examples of style you will receive.
