Another Christmas mystery by Anne Perry
I suppose it's in the certificate of death where the cause of death is written. I've never thought these forms could seem important to any one but those closely involved with the deceased. Now while reading Anne Perry's "A Christmas Visitor," I find a cause of death listed as "taken by fairies!" I'm shocked! However, I shouldn't feel stunned. All societies have people who take their superstitions quite literally. I would like to know if there are any other original or peculiar causes of death listed in past records. anneperry.co.uk/books/christmas/54/
"They used to write that in as cause of death sometimes, you know ? Taken by fairies!"
