About this book
Island superstitions, legendary tales, old customs, proverbs and weather sayings from Guernsey fill this collection. It was put together from the manuscripts of the late Sir Edgar MacCulloch, Bailiff of Guernsey, and edited by Edith F. Carey for the 1903 printing.
Much of the material is given in old French or the Guernsey French dialect, and photographs of old prints illustrate the pages. In his preface MacCulloch says he wanted to record the traditions of his native island before they were forgotten.
