Review Quotes:
This is truly an amazing book! As someone who is very interested in 'folk magic' and Folklore I found Baker's compilation of the such information both fascinating and invaluable in increasing our understand of this important, yet rather neglected, area of British history. - Ayon707, Amazon reviewer
