Seven Stars

By Hugh Kolb

The Seven Stars is surely one of the most venerable and ubiquitous pub names in the United Kingdom--innumerable taverns across England bear this celestial appellation. Seven Stars digs deep into just why that is, with a resulting story that spans millennia. Kolb traces the origin and meaning of the Seven Stars back to legal codes of the Anglo-Saxon era and the Dionysian myths linked to the seven-star Pleiades constellation. Seven Stars stops to whet its whistle at a few of the significant public houses bearing that name as it tells a compelling story of the history of British public drinking and its associated imagery and cultural traditions.
