Tales of Witchcraft & Wonder
by Claude & Corinne Lecouteux
 
A collection of tales from the Middle Ages focused on otherworldly powers, magical animals, miracles, demonic apparitions, and supernatural events.
 
In this collection of medieval tales of witchcraft, wonder, and the supernatural, Claude and Corinne Lecouteux explain how many of these stories arose in Classical Antiquity while some made their way into Dark Ages Europe from the Middle East and India.
 
Offering commentary for each tale, the authors place them in historical context and analyse their cultural and esoteric associations.
