Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the realms of fairy folklore, witchcraft, and extrasensory perception, Robert Kirk's influential treatise delves into the supernatural beliefs of the Scottish Highlands. Recognized by folklorists and mythologists as a pivotal work, it presents a collection of tales that illuminate the cultural significance of fairies and second sight. Initially left unpublished upon Kirk's death in 1692, the manuscript was first released in 1815, with a notable re-edit by Andrew Lang in 1893, which is the basis for this reprint.
