Hi Emma, Well, I’ve been very interested in Isobel Gowdie for years, but I’ve had to neglect my research on Scottish fairy beliefs in the last 5 years or so – annoyingly! – as my other research, on completely unrelated topics, has to be prioritized. So I’m glad to follow it up with someone else’s (yours) research. Yes, the paperback is available on amazon.co.uk, as well as the hardback, but it seems that only the hardback is available on amazon.com ~Caroline.

I'm as keen as you are to hear the academic consensus. I hope you manage to get hold of the paperback (its not the easiest book to get hold of, esp. in Australia) and that it lives up to your expectations.

(I have your Cunning Folk and Familiar Spirits already, and just noticed that the Isobel Gowdie book is available in paperback, which is nice – and cheaper than hardback – because I’ve been coveting it for months!). Reviews aren’t going to affect me buying it, but I’d be interested in what reviewers are saying, particularly about the second half of the book. ~Caroline.
