About this title

From the Back Cover:

Katharine Briggs made an indelible mark on the world of folklore with her compilation of the Dictionary of British Folktales in the English Language. Her subsequent Dictionary of Fairies confirmed her already distinguished place among British folklorists.It was at Oxford University that she developed her interest in seventeenth-century literature and the Civil War. Between leaving Oxford and the outbreak of the Second World War she channelled much of her tremendous vitality into amateur dramatics and work for the Guide Movement.
