Practical Advice for Discerning “Cunning Folk”
|
Ed Simon reviews Tabitha Stanmore’s new book, “Cunning Folk: Life in the Era of Practical Magic.” “Stanmore enumerates the sorts of practical rituals that cunning folk offered in the plying of their trade.

(This must be hard cheese, Stanmore emphasizes.)”
