Spirits of the Season: Portraits of the Winter Otherworld

Ho ho horror ... As the nights draw in and the turn of the year looms we may seek the comfort of a cosy fireside and a warming drink and think of the approach of Father Christmas ... but hark ... what is that noise outside, could it be Santa Claus? ... or could it be something entirely different ... something stranger ... more sinister hiding in those cold winter shadows? In this book Dr Bob Curran introduces us to a whole host of beguiling entities from different countries and different cultures that tread the freezing landscapes in the long nights of winter. Richly illustrated throughout by Andy Paciorek, Spirits of the Season is an ideal companion through the dark and magical days.
