I read & reviewed this book for my nonfiction research blog! As an author with an interest in folklore and magic, I came at this book from a different angle than most. However, the historian in me very much appreciated the context in the introduction (I read the 2010 second edition) and the quality of the citations/handling of historical data. The section on healing in the Middle Ages, which was my primary interest, was concise and clear. It's a quick read overall, so if you have a copy nearby, why not read it? ;)
