A Companion to the Fairy Tale
This book discusses the characteristics of the traditional fairy tale in Europe and North America, and various theories of its development and interpretation. The book deals with the main collections - the Grimm brothers, Hans Andersen, Perrault and Afanes'ev - and with the development of tales in various regions of Europe, including Ireland, Wales, Scandinavia, Germany and Russia, as well as India, where it was once claimed that they originated.…
The Lost Beliefs of Northern Europe
Fragments of ancient belief mingle with folklore and Christian dogma until the original tenets are lost in the myths and psychologies of the intervening years. Hilda Ellis Davidson illustrates how pagan beliefs have been represented and misinterpreted by the Christian tradition, and throws light on the nature of pre-Christian beliefs and how they have been preserved. The Lost Beliefs of Northern Europe stresses both the possibilities and the diff…
Roles of the Northern Goddess
While much work has been done on goddesses of the ancient world and the male gods of pre-Christian Scandinavia, the northern goddesses have been largely neglected. Roles of the Northern Goddess presents a highly readable study of the worship of these goddesses by men and women. With its use of evidence from early literature, popular tradition, legend and archaeology, this book investigates the role of the early hunting goddess and the local godde…
Theo Brown (1914–1993)
THEO BROWN died in hospital in Exeter on February 3rd, 1993, and her death has revealed something of her wonderful capacity for making and keeping friends. There are many with a keen sense of loss at her passing, not least the children from the local primary school with which she became involved a short while ago. There is little doubt that she passed on to them something of her overwhelming passion-for it was nothing less-for local traditions, s…
The Hair and the Dog
AT first it was somewhat startling to discover close parallels between a group of tales about deer-hunters in the Scottish Highlands who encountered supernatural women in the mountains, and another series of hunting tales from the Caucasus which dealt with similar themes. It seemed worthwhile to compare these two sets of tales and to consider two main problems. First there is that of distribution since, in Britain, the Scottish tales seem to be c…
Boundaries and Thresholds
Micheál Ross, Boundaries and Thresholds, Béaloideas, Iml. 60/61, Finscealta Agus Litriocht: Paipeir a cuireadh I lathair ag an Siompoisiam Nordach-Ceiltech / Legends and Fiction: Papers Presented at the Nordic-Celtic Legend Symposium (1992/1993), pp. 336-339
Religious Practices of the Northern Peoples in Scandinavian Tradition

The Seer in Celtic and Other Traditions
Myths and Symbols in Religion and Folklore
WHAT interest now have folklorists in the remote past before the coming of Christianity in north-western Europe, a time when written records were rare and by no means reliable? We now know that folk customs and traditions of our own times, impressive and barbarous though they seem, cannot confidently be assumed to go back into 'the mists of antiquity', as popular guide-books are apt to phrase it. They probably emerged as recently as the nineteent…
Changes in the Folklore Society, 1949–1986
MY years of membership with the Folklore Society have left me with a wealth of memories of personalities who formerly loomed large in its Council and Committee. In recalling some of these, I might perhaps be allowed to comment also on the strengths and weaknesses of the Society as they appear to me, looking back over those years. I first attended a Society meeting and decided to become a member in 1949. We used then to meet in the Chemistry Lectu…
