Vampires is a unique, lavishly illustrated work that explores the
rich diversity of vampire belief and lore, ranging from countries
as diverse as Japan, Sweden and Ireland, looking at their
historical origins, and setting them in their cultural context.
Celtic Lore and Legend includes tales of the heroes and gods from
the Great Myth Cycles and tales of witches, ghosts, and
fairies--from Sir Walter Scott's Letters on Witchcraft and
Demonology and Edmund Burt's Letters from the North of Scotland to
Douglas Hyde's Tales of Saints and Sinners and Lady Gregory's
Visions and Beliefs in the West of Ireland. It is also a treasure
trove of lesser-known stories, such as Sir Walter Scott's Wandering
Willie's Tale, James Hogg's The Brownie of the Black Hags and Don
Byrne's A Tale of the Piper. Celtic Lore and Legend is both an
examination and celebration of that tradition. It is one of the
first attempts to trace the development of these stories from their
earliest mythical roots, through the stores of the rural fireside
to the writers of fiction who have used Celtic belief as a source
for their own stories.
