This special edition of 'Cambrian Superstitions' was written by William Howells of Tipton, and first published in 1831, making it over 180 years old.
This is an incredible find on superstitions from Cambria - the Medieval Latin term for "Wales," used from the 14th - 16th centuries. In this instance, Cambrian doesn't refer to the Paleozoic Period of 570 million - 500 million years ago.
The book covers topics like Ghosts, Presentiments, Corpse Candles, Witchcraft, All Hallow E'en (Halloween, ) May Day, Wassailing, Christmas Customs, and more.
This is an absolute gem of a find, and an essential addition to the libraries of all enthusiastic readers and researchers of superstitions and traditions of bygone days.
