Complete and unabridged, with 60 full-page plates by William Quiller Orchardson, William Corden the Elder and John Watson Gordon. Why a horseshoe over the door - traced through the crescent moon, the serpent, the smith-god and the fear of witches, across a dozen countries. Lawrence wrote the standard book on the subject and it has not been replaced. This edition is bound with a gallery of 60 plates after Wilkie, Constable and Millais, and includes one restored and coloured in-text illustration.
