Paraphrasing the book's preface....''From the abundant records and traditions dealing with the curious belief that certain men and women can transform themselves into animals, the author has collected a number of instances and examples which throw fresh light on the subject both from the point of view of folklore and occultism''
There are chapters on the ''Bush-Soul," on human souls in animal bodies, on animal dances, the "Were-Wolf Trials," on witches, on cat and cock phantoms, on the "Phantasmal Ghost" as well as bird-women.
The book is uncommon without a jacket, it is genuinely rare with one. A remarkable survival.
