Famous Frosts and Frost Fairs in Great Britain is a historical book chronicling the various notable winter freezes and frost fairs that have taken place in Great Britain from the earliest times up until the late 19th century. Written by William Andrews and originally published in 1887, the book covers a range of subjects related to the topic, including meteorology, geography, social history, and cultural traditions. The author describes in detail the various winter freezes that have occurred throughout British history, including the Great Frost of 1683-84, the Little Ice Age of the 18th and 19th centuries, and more recent wintertime events. The book also delves into the social and cultural significance of frost fairs, which were held on the frozen River Thames during particularly cold winters, and were a popular form of entertainment for Londoners. Overall, Famous Frosts and Frost Fairs in Great Britain is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of winter weather in Britain and its impact on society and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
