By WATSON, Lyall
New York: William Morrow and Company, 1987. First Edition. Octavo. 22cm. Publisher's oatmeal colored cloth spine over dark blue paper covered boards, titled in gilt to spine.

Watson's intriguing and curious investigation into the possible origins of folkloric belief and superstition and how they relate to the discipline of natural history. In the same way that Graham Hancock might postulate differing possibilities in the field of archaeology, Watson is setting out to dabble in the same waters for the natural world.
