Description

Description from Project Gutenberg

"Légendes rustiques" by George Sand is a collection of folk legends published in 1858. This anthology preserves the rural folklore of Berry, France, gathering twelve tales of supernatural beings and beliefs from the French countryside. Sand documents spectral washerwomen, mysterious stone monuments, shape-shifting beasts, will-o'-the-wisps, and phantom monks that haunted the peasant imagination. Each legend explores the enchanted world where villagers encountered fairies, sorcerers, werewolves, and restless spirits. Illustrated by her son Maurice Sand, the collection captures vanishing oral traditions before they disappeared from rural memory. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
