About the author
Nancy Hoffman is the author of two entries in Lucent Books' reference series on unexplained phenomena, "Fairies" and "Life After Death." "Fairies" surveys belief in fairy folklore across cultures, drawing on legends, oral tradition, and personal accounts of encounters to explain why belief in these elusive figures has persisted despite defying straightforward explanation. "Life After Death" takes a similarly survey-based approach to afterlife belief, covering concepts of heaven, hell, purgatory, and reincarnation as they appear across different civilizations, past and present. Both books are written in an accessible, reference-style format typical of the Lucent Books series, aimed at introducing readers, including younger or general audiences, to the range of beliefs surrounding a given topic rather than advocating a particular view. No further titles or biographical detail accompany these two entries in the catalogue.
