Cider Folklore: Wassailing and the Apple Tree Man

Cider has a long history, especially here in Britain. When the Romans arrived in Britain, they discovered the locals drinking a beverage made from apples. It wasn't quite cider yet, and no one knows how long this drink existed prior to this point.  But how does cider appear in folklore? We'll learn a fairy legend, how the custom of wassailing works, and who the Apple Tree Man was in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore.
