Book Synopsis The Silver Bough by : Florence Marian McNeill

Download or read book The Silver Bough written by Florence Marian McNeill and published by Canongate Books. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduced by Stewart Sanderson. This book, the first and most popular of four volumes, is a marvellous and indispensable treasury of Scottish folklore and folk belief from the world of Celtic magic, gods and fairies, to the prophecies of the Brahan seer, second sight, witchcraft, earth magic, selkies, changelings and a host of traditional spells and cures. The Silver Bough involved many years of research into both living and recorded folklore. Its genesis lies perhaps in the author's need to reconcile the old primitive world she had glimpsed in her Orkney childhood, with the sophisticated modern world she later entered. This much loved and highly regarded work remains a classic of literature. 'If you are looking for an insight into the Celtic mindset, or interested in the background of Scottish literature or in Scottish folklore for its own sake . . . I know of no other single volume I could so unreservedly recommend to you.' Books in Scotland
