No es el título adecuado.
El contenido del texto funciona como una introducción bastante buena al tema. Una vista general bastante amigable y poco pretenciosa. Sin embargo, el libro contiene pocas ilustraciones para el título que lleva. Honestamente pensé que estaba comprando algo del estilo de The Library of Esoterica de Taschen, pero no es así. La calidad del papel tampoco es la mejor; deja mucho que desear. Pero, insisto, el texto es bueno, sencillo y elocuente a momentos.

Owen Davis is THE reference for a modern, intelligent approach to European-based witchcraft.

Solid,reliable introduction
A well presented academically sound introductory overview of a vastly branched subject matter.Lavishly illustrated,the word Oxford and the name Owen Davies on the front cover evokes immediate confidence in accepting the contents of this work will be reliable.A glance inside reveals contributions from such scholars as Sophie Page,James Sharpe and of course,Davies himself which further strengthens this works solidity.Given that,those already well versed in papers examining the history of witchcraft and magic may find little new information here.However,for the general readership or academics having a first foray into the subject,this really ranks as one of the best introductions to this field that has surfaced in modern times.Within those parameters,this is highly recommended and an important addition to your bookshelves.
