$\"\"$ It is no secret that I love Claude Lecouteux. So, let\u2019s not pretend that there\u2019s a chance I won\u2019t like one of his books. The real question is, why is THIS book just as worth reading as his other books?<\/p>\n

Today we\u2019re talking about \u201cTale of Witchcraft and Wonder: The Venomous Maiden and Other Stories of the Supernatural\u201d by Claude and Corinne Lecouteux. This is another fascinating exploration of the evolution of lore from the Middle Ages. The format is wonderful because they share the oldest version of the story, and then they share iteration after iteration of the tale so you can read firsthand how they change. My description may come across as tedious, but to the contrary, it makes for a brisk, entertaining read. You\u2019ll read tales of transformation, devilry, and magic.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve never tried a Lecouteux book, this is a wonderful place to start. \u201cTales of Witchcraft and Wonder\u201d delivers on the title and maintains the level of accessible scholarship that we\u2019ve come to associate with Lecouteux.<\/p>\n
