John Gregorson Campbell (1834-91) was one of the most outstanding
folklorists working in Scotland during the nineteenth century.
Based on materials which he had gathered in the 1850s and 1860s,
his Superstitions of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and
Witchcraft and Second Sight in the Highlands and Islands were
published posthumously in 1900 and 1902. Engagingly written in an
anecdotal style, they introduce us to a galaxy of fairies, witches,
ghosts and supernatural creatures, as well as general superstitions
and the beliefs and rituals of the traditional calendar. Having
been written as a single work, they are now reunited as one volume.
In a lively introduction, Ronald Black illuminates Campbell's work
with extensive explanatory notes and a radically revised biography
of the collector, supported by bibliography, maps and index.
