Enchanted Britain

Enchanted Britain surveys almost 100 rural sites in England, Scotland and Wales associated with folklore, mythology and supernatural traditions. Marc Alexander considers how particular landscapes acquired reputations for magic, witchcraft, legendary beings and other uncanny associations.

The book places celebrated locations such as Stonehenge and Loch Ness alongside less familiar examples, including Avebury and Wookey Hole. Its subjects range from standing stones and ancient mysteries to stories of fairies, dragons, demons and witches, treating these traditions as part of Britain’s cultural and historical landscape. Alexander’s photographs accompany the text, giving the book a visual record of the places connected with these enduring tales.
