Land Beyond the Forest

Transylvania in the 1880s - the Saxons, the Romanians, the Szeklers and the beliefs they kept - by a Scotswoman married to an Austrian cavalry officer stationed there. Bram Stoker read this book and took much of his vampire lore from it. This edition adds 60 bound plates after Friedrich, Doré, Turner and others, plus 41 restored and coloured in-text illustrations.
