Sir James George Frazer originally set out to discover the origins
of one ancient custom in Classical Rome - the plucking of the
Golden Bough from a tree in the sacred grove of Diana, and the
murderous succession of the priesthood there - and was led by his
invetigations into a twenty-five year study of primitive customs,
superstitions, magic and myth throughout the world. The monumental
thirteen-volume work which resulted has been a rich source of
anthropological material and a literary masterpiece for more than
half a century. Both the wealth of his illustrative material and
the broad sweep of his argument can be appreciated in this very
readable single volume.
