Noticing the lovely in the forgotten
I'm Claire — writer, maker, and lifelong lover of all things ancient, folkloric, and quietly strange.
Here at The Curious Turnip, I share:
Forgotten stories and overlooked history
Peculiar facts you didn’t know you wanted to know
Gentle folklore and small moments of wonder
I chose the turnip for a reason. It’s not glamorous — but it’s fed armies, guided spirits, warded off witches, and quietly survived centuries of storms and stews.
It’s resilient. Rooted. Rich with stories.
And that’s exactly the kind of history I love to share.
If you enjoy gentle moments, curious facts, and a life that leans a little odd and overgrown, you’ll feel right at home here.
