Sir Edgar MacCulloch spent decades collecting the beliefs of Guernsey’s islanders, and Edith Carey edited his notes after his death. They cover the island’s festivals and civic ceremonies, its dolmens and holy wells, its fairies, goblins, ghosts, witchcraft and the Devil, and its proverbs and weather sayings, many quoted in the old Guernsey French.
A thorough record of a small island’s vanished beliefs, for folklorists and anyone with roots in the Channel Islands. Download the free EPUB.
