Summary: Illustrated manuscript of The Witchcraft of Dame Darrel of York by Charles Godfrey Leland [1824-1903]. Leland presents the book as an account of witchcraft practiced by Dame Darrel, "the Wise Woman of York," in medieval England, though the work is primarily based on Leland's own research and imagination. The majority of the manuscript catalogs various types of fairies, elves, goblins, and other spirits in alphabetical order, but there are also stories and descriptions of spells.
