Críticas

“This publication is a very welcome addition to a growing corpus of scholarship on this relatively neglected aspect of Irish social and cultural history. ... On reaching the end of this original, scholarly book, the reader will have gained an excellent, fresh insight into the nature of beliefs about magic and witchcraft in Ireland ... . suitable as a textbook for university students and is likely to be the main scholarly work on this subject for several years to come.” (Dr. Mary Ann Lyons, Reviews in History, history.ac.uk, June, 2016)
