| Abstract
|
:
|
Varner brings together a medley of stories, myths and folklore, sharing a fascination and respect for humankind's early and contemporary cultures and wondering at similarities across the board. Here, he focuses on "Little People" and giants, animals and were-creatures, as well as the odd, helpful or threatening ways imputed to our earthly companions, including dogs and cats, bats and spiders and the stories people have told each other about them since time immemorial.
