Focusing chiefly, though not exclusively, on the folklore of mediaeval England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, this 2-volume set contains more than 300 entries on tales (King Arthur), historical figures (Thomas Becket), festivals (carnival), creatures in folklore (fairies), mythologies (Scandinavian mythology) and themes (silence). The usual general index, along with indexes of folktale plots (Index of Tale Types) and motifs, makes this encyclopedia easy to use. The entries include cross-references and often lengthy bibliographies.
