Although written mostly as a fictional work, this piece of literature uses many real world examples of the occult to make its fictional points. Written in a series of ten letters, the book gives a very personal perspective on one person's view of the occult. Although Walter Scott was failing in health while writing this work, a unique charm is given to the text in the midst of his illness near the end of his life.
