Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Hamlyn Publishing Group, Second Impression, 1988. First published 1987. Hardcover Quarto in Near Fine Condition. Internals in Fine Condition. No Jacket. Lavishly illustrated with colour and monotone illustrations on nearly every page. Laminated illustrated cover is clean and bright, slight wear to front edge of spine head and heel is the olny defect, else fine. Front cover illus: The Jack-in-the-green, a May Day custom of English city sweeps in the 18th & 19th centuries. Back cover illus: Corn dolly from Montenegro Horniman Museum. Here are the persistently recurring thought-patterns, beliefs and stories, which for centuries shaped the European peasant's outlook--from Britain, France, Greece and Germany to Russia and Scandinavia. This folklore is "mythology" in that it is concerned with supernatural forces as real entities in the everyday world.
