Francis X. King is a well-known British Occult Historian, who was responsible for much of the material in the ''Man, Myth, & Magic'' Encyclopedia. This is a reiteration of some of that material with profuse amount of illustrations. Lovely in the Octavo Hardback UK edition.

Interesting. Great images to cut and glue in a book of shadows.

I bought this book from a second hand shop in moffat, Scotland, UK. There are some amazing artwork and colour/black & white pictures in this book, and although there is a lot of historical information, I feel that the author has been a bit biased and that some of the historical information he gives he has "beefed" it up - you most certainly get the view that he tends to be "behind" (not sure if thats the right word to use" the Christian point of view. Still - its worth it for the pictures and historial dates alone.)O(
