Legends of Florence, by Charles Godfrey Leland 32786 [Subtitle: Collected from the People, First Series] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/3/2/7/8/32786 ] [Files: 32786.txt; 32786-0.txt; 32786-h.htm] For those wishing to know: Leland lived in Florence for some time and through his interest in Etruscan-Roman remains came across a lot of stories kept by the local witches. Most involve an incantation which is the point of the story, the legends often being a bit "thin." Possibly the most surprising one is about Cain and his worshippers - which turns the biblical account someone on its head! All the best, David, Warm and sunny England, with lots of noisy people in the street - something about football I think...
