""Household Lore is a delightful exploration of the folklore hidden in your home. Entertaining and charming, it is a rich cornucopia of useful information that will lead you down wonderful rabbit holes from how to handle a cough (slices of garlic in your shoes), to dealing with a snoring partner (pop a lemon under their pillow). Try any of these at your own risk, but do try the book, which can be lightly snacked upon or hungrily devoured. Either way, Liza’s writing is always nourishing soul food."" – Jenifer Toksvig, author and playwright ""Household Lore is a delight to read. It should be the family bible for all supernaturally synched folk!"" – Johnny Mains, editor and author ""Although the book is wry and written with a sparkly, affectionate sense of humour, the wisdom shines brightly and the stories serve to make household chores a lot more interesting."" – The Green Parent Magazine
