Description
Reprint of John Gregorson Campbell's seminal work on the folklore and superstitions of Scotland and Ireland, first published posthumously in the early 20th century.
Written in an engaging anecdotal style, Campbell's Superstitions of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and Witchcraft and Second Sight in the Highlands and Islands offers a fascinating glimpse into the traditional calendar, supernatural creatures, and general superstitions of the region.
Now reunited in a single volume, this edition features a lively introduction by Ronald Black, extensive explanatory notes, and a revised biography of the collector, supported by bibliography, maps, and index.
