'In this classic work, inspiration and source book to many, Frazer sets out the seminal themes of myth and magic that emerge throughout the history of the human imagination. Themes such as the death of the fisher king, the magical mistletoe sprig and the sacred oak grove are traced through the rituals of ceremony and sacrifice from ancient Greece, through the druid and shaman traditions and the worlds of Odin and Arthur, to the bedrock of image and symbol that underlies human consciousness.' (SPECTATOR).
