The Scapegoat in European Folklore

The idea of the scape-goat started with the idea of passing the evil destined for you, on to somebody or something else. This book looks at this idea in the context of superstition and folklore. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
