Inhaltsangabe

""The True Legend of St. Dunstan and the Devil"" is a book written by Edward G. Flight in 1871. The book tells the story of St. Dunstan, an English saint who was known for his skill as a blacksmith and his ability to ward off evil spirits. The legend goes that one day, the devil came to Dunstan's forge and asked him to shoe his horse. In a clever move, Dunstan nailed the devil's foot to the floor and only agreed to release him if he promised never to enter any place where a horseshoe was hung over the door. This is how the horseshoe became a charm against witchcraft. The book is a retelling of this famous legend and also includes illustrations of the story. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in folklore, mythology, or the history of England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
