Seller's Description:
Very Good-with no dust jacket. Text tone with random foxing, light edgewear, otherwise light wear. Solid hardcover.; James Lewis Thomas Chalmers Spence was a Scottish journalist, poet, author, folklorist and occult scholar, and an ardent Scottish nationalist. Among his books on magic, occult and folk-lore mythology, he popularized the Mayan Popol Vuh and Atlantis. "...it occurred to me that the time was drawing near when a compendium of British fairy tradition and belief in all their phases and aspects would be of the utmost service to a generation which displayed so deep an interest in the problems of fairy mythology and its related customs....this essay deals exclusively with the sources-literary, traditional and legendary-of British fairy record, life, custom and legend....My endeavour has been to make manifest the important essentials of each legend, instance or belief, or as a journalist would put it, to "bring out the points" in order that the illustration of each tradition may be of value alike to the wayfaring reader and the student of folk-lore."-Preface. First Edition, First Printing of this classic scholarly examination of British fairy mythology.; 374 pages.
