Condición: New.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. England was once full of things.Before electric light, before modern roads, before rural England forgot the names whispered at crossroads and cottage doors, the country lived beside a crowded invisible world. Boggarts troubled barns. Black dogs waited on lonely lanes. Corpse lights moved over marshes. Redcaps kept to ruined towers. Witches, hobs, fairies, knockers, water spirits, omens, charms, and household presences filled the spaces where fear, belief, danger, and memory met.England's Forgotten Monsters is a richly atmospheric journey into the strange beings and folk beliefs preserved in the Denham Tracts, one of the great Victorian collections of English folklore. Drawing on rural tradition, old supernatural catalogues, regional legends, death omens, witchcraft belief, and the haunted landscape of pre-industrial England, Amy Mulvaney explores the creatures people once named because the world around them felt alive, watchful, and uncertain.This is not a simple monster guide. It is a serious walk through the mental world that produced these beings: the dark roads, dangerous wells, unstable ruins, mines, moors, churchyards, farms, hearths, rivers, and thresholds where ordinary life met the unknown.Inside, readers will discover: - Boggarts, bogles, bull-beggars, and things in the dark- Black dogs, Shucks, padfoots, barguests, and hell-hounds- Corpse lights, death hearses, fetches, wraiths, and omens- Redcaps, Rawhead and Bloody Bones, hags, and violent spirits- Brownies, hobs, fairies, witches, knockers, water beings, fire-drakes, and will-o'-the-wisps- The folk beliefs, charms, warnings, and customs that shaped rural English lifeAtmospheric, intelligent, and deeply rooted in old tradition, England's Forgotten Monsters brings back the forgotten names of a haunted country and asks what those names once meant to the people who feared them.The dark places were never empty. England simply stopped naming what lived there. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
