This little work is a dense collection of folklore about fairies (although it does include some content referring to elves, brownies, and similar beings)- part of it relates to poetry, some to prose both ancient and then-modern. It is a quasi-romanticist effort, openly encouraging the promulgation of such folk material as an alternative to the cold, secular boredom of industrial living. It also seems to insinuate that such beings are real, albeit otherworldly.

This little work is an anthropological title which traces several different hellish hounds from multiple cultures and describes them, partly based on linguistics. Cerberus is one of a number of such canines- there are also Odins' wolves, the dogs of Yama, and inclusions from Zoroastrian and even Mesoamerican lore.

This present book is a work mainly of religious history, seeking to categorize the various "idolatrous" practices of the ancient Hebrews, claiming most of them can be established to have had a prior origin, and that they therefore did not originate with Judaism. Some of the claims here are anthropologically outdated but many have been continuously confirmed (sacred groves and witchcraft definitely predate Judaism and probably came from interactions with other regional tribes, for example.) The number of individual stories involving witchery, totems, etc, are profuse, and the work is a great springboard for further study.
