European Mythology by Jacqueline Simpson
Here are the persistently recurring thought patterns, beliefs and stories, which for centuries shaped the European peasant's outlook - from Britain, France, Greece and Germany, to Russia and Scandinavia. This folklore is 'mythology' in that it is concerned with supernatural forces as real entities in the everyday world.

Dr. Simpson describes a network of unofficial beliefs which long persisted alongside Christianity. She discusses many different supernatural beings - some helpful, many dangerous - including various types of fairies, the dead, witches, and werewolves.
