Irish Myths and Legends
AuthorLady Augusta Gregory
ISBN0762402814
I'll say this for this little morsel--it does make me want to track down the book from which it was clipped, Gods and Fighting Men by Lady Gregory.
In this incarnation, though, I see only a teasing appetizer. The four stories of the stalwart Fianna are presented with zero context, so it felt a little...

The History of the Devil As Well Ancient as Modern: In Two Parts
AuthorDaniel Defoe
Infelizmente, fiquei desiludida com este livro. Não era nada o que esperava de Daniel Defoe...É claro que sabia que este seria um livro forçosamente diferente de Robinson Crusoe, porque é um género literário totalmente distinto, mas não esperei ter a sensação de que estava a ler um autor...
The Religion of the Ancient Celts
AuthorJohn Arnott MacCulloch
The Pros and Cons of the Book:

The Cons:
1. The book was not intended for the beginner. Most of the time the author assumes you know what and who he is talking about.
2. It was written at an early stage when not a lot of archeological sites were found about the Celts.
3. Some of the information...
Scottish Ghost Stories
AuthorElliott O'Donnell
This would be an easy five stars, adjusted to a still-brilliant four stars. A couple of cases were too ghoulish and disturbingly evil for the word "enjoy" to resonate all the way through to them. Those are occasions in which one is sorry that this book comprised true stories, as best as they were recounted...

No Rest for the Wicked
AuthorRebecca Knight
Read This Review & More Like It At Ageless Pages Reviews

First, this book is only two short stories and three ads. Second, the stories just aren't very well written. It seemed like there could be a good idea, although not overly original, in a detective agency/task force devoted to cleaning...

Slave Narratives: a Folk History of Slavery in the United States From Interviews with Former Slaves, North Carolina Narratives, Part 2
AuthorWork Projects Administration
I downloaded this from Kindle in my search for nonfiction to pair with several of the fictional stories that I have read about slavery. The book Son of A Gun piqued my interest in former American slaves as I read about them returning to Liberia after emancipation only to become slave owners themselves.

I Never Believed in Ghosts Until . . .
AuthorUSA Weekend
ISBN0809238403
I put this in non-fiction, but have my doubts. Many of the accounts read too much like fiction, but I guess you never know. Some stories were creepy, but many were along the lines of moved into a new house, saw a ghost, moved out. Other folks toughed out their haunting longer than that, but eventually moved...
