About this ebook
The Kashubian people began arriving in Canada from north-central Poland during the early 1860s, the majority of them settling in Renfrew County, Ontario. The function and meaning of the principal daemons in their folklore are studied in relation to the Canadian context and the author examines the adaptations made in form and content.
