Shropshire born Cecily Peele was an author, mapmaker, engraver and illustrator and founded the Alley Workshops in Oxford in 1922. The workshops sound like just the sort of shop you’d love to have a wander around and an advert for the time describes them as stocking, 
 ‘Wild and tame toys. Jewels and Beads. Prints, pottery and handwoven scarves. Dragons. Jumpers and embroidered frocks. Cigarette boxes and mirrors. Knights. Plaited felt slippers. Prehistoric Beasts.’
This is one of her creations, a  wonderful and rare little book of British folklore. 
‘The Encyclopaedia of British Bogies’ 
Beautifully illustrated throughout with examples of ‘British Bogies’ such as Will O the Wisp or Jack O Lantern, Herne the Hunter , Sea Kelpies, The Fire Drake and various Somerset and Dorset Pixies , which are noted as ‘less malicious than Cornish Pixies’! 
 Published by the Alley Workshops, Oxford in 1939. 
In good condition with some foxing to the pages.
