What They're Saying
Critics Review
“One of those rare delights, a book as readable as it is scholarly on a subject appealing to general readers.” * Patricia Monaghan, Booklist, September 2004 *”…an important academic work that throws new light on historical accounts of witchcraft, the supernatural and the spirit world.” * The Cauldron, February 2004 *“Surprisingly, and despite the consistently scholarly tone, Lecouteux treats his subject with unmistakable sympathy and enthusiasm. He contrasts traditional beliefs about the soul with those imposed by Christianity and clearly favors the former.” * Joshua Buckley, TYR, Vol. 3, 2007-2008 *
