LANG, ANDREW. — Custom & Myth.

Wakefield: EP Publishing Limited, 1974. 0854099697. Second edition, revised. "Lang argues that the myth was needed by the simple and uncivilized mind in order to explain away certain phenomena that were problematical. To such an uncomplicated mind it was perfectly credible that all objects were endowed with human personality, and able to change form and appearance with ease and rapidity..The book cuts across cultural boundaries and traces the development of the myth as part of a general progress and civilisation of the human race." 19cms x 12.5cms. Pp.312. Red boards, dustwrapper has a removable clear protective wrap. VG/VG.
