About this listen
Bloomsbury presents Gloaming: Folklore, recipes and crafts to spark glimmers of joy in the darker months, written and read by Rosie Steer.

"We often feel like winter is a time when the magic falls away. Rosie shows us that it’s very much still there, we just need to know how to look for it. Month by month, she invites us to stop pushing through winter and instead lean into it." – Ramona Jones

Gloaming is a collection of cosy crafts, soul-nourishing recipes and slow living activities inspired by stories and traditions from Scottish folklore.

Turning to her Celtic ancestors who were known for celebrating micro-seasons, Rosie Steer has reframed her mindset when it comes to Wintertime, choosing to embrace, rather than fear it. Split into four parts, Hairst (harvest), Samhain (Hallowe’en), Howe o’the Year (the winter solstice) and Waretym (earliest spring), this book celebrates the glimmers of joys throughout the darker months through step-by-step projects such as Clay Pressed Botanical Imprints and an Upcycled Hot Water Bottle Cover; easy-to-make bakes, like Spiced Pumpkin Loaf Cake and Clementine and Almond Buns; and stories of Scottish Winter folklore.

It's something we could all benefit from: connecting with stories from the past, immersing ourselves in nature and carving out seasonal rituals which are key to finding glimmers of light to embrace the darkness in our toughest seasons.©2026 Rosie Steer (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Critic Reviews

Utterly gorgeous. As cosy as the softest winter blanket. The perfect companion for long, dark winter nights.
Gloaming is a must-have for the seasonally affected among us, charting a gentle way through the darker months and packed full of sweet crafts, botanical and seasonal recipes and beautiful Scottish words – 'scarrow' (faint light), and my personal favourite, 'sneesl’ (to begin to rain or snow)!
A gorgeous, cosy guide to finding glimmers in the winter twilight, Gloaming is packed with inspiring ways to brighten gloomy days and embrace dark nights.
We often feel like winter is a time when the magic falls away. Rosie shows us that it’s very much still there, we just need to know how to look for it. Month by month, she invites us to stop pushing through winter and instead lean into it.
Gloaming feels like taking a deep breath after a long day. With Rosie’s guidance through the darker days of the year, accompanied by reflections, recipes and tales of folklore, this book encourages us to soak up everything this season offers.
Rosie's new book is a beautiful reminder for us all to slow down and notice the small but magnificent things in life.
A heartwarming and enchanting book to inspire you throughout the season.
This beautiful book is the literary equivalent of a 'coorie in' – nestling down in a warm nook by the fire and exploring the world as experienced by our ancestors. Rosie's personal observations are interesting and moving. It lifted my spirits going into the winter.
