Went to the Library ...

... finally paid off all of my fines (which were double what I thought they were ...ouch!) And I picked up a few new books to gnaw on:

Priestess of Avalon &
Anscetors of Avalon - MZB & Diana Paxton
The Encyclopedia of Witches and Witchcraft - Rosemary Ellen Guiley
At the Bottom of the Garden: A Dark History of Fairies, Hobgoblins and Other Troublesome Things - Diane Purkiss
The Vanishing People: Fairy Lore and Legend - Katharine Briggs
Canadian Wonder Tales - Cyrus MacMillan

These are all hardcover books ... while looking through the folklore section, I barely made it out of there without picking up a bunch of books on Arthurian Legend too! You would think that the library were closing forever the way some of them jump off the shelf at me! LOL

Should keep me busy for a while, tho ^_^

I read 'At the Bottom of the Garden' a little over a year ago and unfortunately did not take any notes. However I remember enjoying it quite a bit. There's some 'Well it could mean this so it MUST mean this' bits that frustrated me but overall it was an interesting look at the subject. I bet you'll enjoy it.

Haven't started that one yet, but I am liking the Vanishing People. It is basically creating a new folklore/fairie book list for me (SO much source material). ^_^
