Fantastickes
Fantastickes is a 1626 book by the English Renaissance writer Nicholas Breton. It is arranged in the style of The Kalender of Shepherdes; it contains customs, techniques, and natural history writings.[1] It was written by Breton for the "perpetuall prognostication" of posterity. Alexander Balloch Grosart, who compiled and edited Breton's complete works, wrote of it: "Carry it to the greenwood with you, Reader, and if thou art not charmed, I dub thee—soulless.” The book's subtitle was in fact: "Serving for A Perpetuall Prognostication". The Paris Review detailed Breton's whimsical designations of the twelve months within the book.[2]
