Botanical Folk Tales of Britain and Ireland Quotes

“In the old days, there were bogles, the horrid things, creeping in the darkness, ready to take people. And even in the daytime, when there weren't bogles, people were always fretting about them, or something or other else -- or the Church was worrying for them. The priests were always on at people about their souls, and between hell and the bogles, people's minds were never easy.”
― Lisa Schneidau, Botanical Folk Tales of Britain and Ireland
