Reviews

...excellent and exciting selection of texts dealing with the world, the flesh, and occasionally the Devil. Here is the hideously cautionary tale of Helmbrecht, and scenes of pagan devil-worship from a Cornish miracle play. Human fallibility is celebrated or condemned accurately and with refreshing vigour.
