Description
We all know them. Since ancient times. Since childhood. We encountered them in the forest, at castles and chateaus, and perhaps even at home under the bed. Ghosts. They have inhabited the Czech lands as long as our ancestors can remember, and perhaps even longer. And although modern fairy tales have transformed them into often cute forms, they were originally ruthless, vengeful, and bloodthirsty creatures. Why is it not advisable to respond to the hooting of a hoot owl, what forms can a water sprite take, and who should definitely avoid the noon witch? This unique overview of twelve Czech ghosts answers these and other questions. The author Jan Kravčík drew from hundreds of legends written in Czech and German, and the book is adorned with impressive illustrations by Latvian illustrator Liga Klavina-Raiska.
