At the beginning of the 21st Century monsters still roam the remote, and sometimes not so remote, corners of our planet. It is our job to search for them. The Centre for Fortean Zoology [CFZ] is - we believe - the largest professional, scientific and full-time organisation in the world dedicated to cryptozoology - the study of unknown animals. Since 1992 the CFZ has carried out an unparalleled programme of research and investigation all over the world. Since 2009 we have been running the increasingly popular CFZ Blog Network, and although there has been an American branch of the CFZ for over ten years now, it is only now that it has a dedicated blog.

BOGGART SOURCEBOOK

Yesterday we put up a notice about Simon Young's book The Boggart.  However, the author has issued a supplementary volume entitled The Boggart Sourcebook divided into three parts:-


    (1) Boggart Ephemera, dealing with articles written on belief in the   Boggart;

     (2) Boggart placenames and personal names;

     (3) The Boggart Census, comprising years folklore memories.


This book costs $75 at present from Amazon, but THE WHOLE OF THIS VALUABLE ACADEMIC WORK IS ON LINE.


It seems difficult to link to it, so, in order to reach the text, go to Boggart Sourcebook on your search engine.  This will direct you to it.  The PDF facility is to be found if you scroll down the page.

In case you're wondering what a Boggart is, it is a term applied to various beings. usually malevolent, in British folklore.
