      "Medieval Folklore" offers a wide-ranging guide to the lore of the Middle Ages -- from the mundane to the supernatural. Definitive and lively articles focus on the great tales and traditions of the age and include information on daily and nightly customs and activities; religious beliefs of the pagan, Christian, Muslim, and Jew; key works of oral and written literature; traditional music and art; holidays and feasts; food and drink; and plants and animals, both real and fantastical. For anyone who has ever wanted a path through the tangle of Arthurian legends, or the real lowdown on St. Patrick, or the last word on wolf lore -- this is the place to look. -- From publisher's description.
