Cunning Folk wer. angielska

Cunning Folk transports us to a time when magic was used to solve life`s day-to-day problems – as well as some of deadly importance. `A brilliant book, written with wit and vigour` MALCOLM GASKILL, author of The Ruin of All Witches `Absolutely fascinating` IAN MORTIMER, author of The Time-Traveller`s Guide to Medieval England It`s 1600 and you`ve lost your precious silver spoons, or maybe they`ve been stolen. Perhaps your child has a fever. Or you`re facing trial. Maybe you`re looking for love or escaping a husband. What do you do? In medieval and early modern Europe, your first port of call might well have been cunning folk: practitioners of magic who were a common, even essential part of daily life, at a time when the supernatural was surprisingly mundane. Charming, thought-provoking and based on original research, Cunning Folk is an immersive reconstruction of a bygone world by an expert historian, as well as a commentary on the beauty and bafflement of being human. `I adore Cunning Folk. A truly fascinating and human book` Ruth Goodman, author of How To Be a Tudor `Packed with vivid historical anecdotes, this is an intriguing insight into the magical lives of past people and the history of our own superstitions today` Marion Gibson, author of Witchcraft `Fascinating . . . opens a window into another world` Tracy Borman, author of Anne Boleyn & Elizabeth I `Full of such magical tips and colourful vignettes . . . crackles with incident` Kate Maltby, Financial Times
