The Dwarfs of Mount Atlas: With Notes on Dwarfs and Dwarf Worship

This little booklet is a combination of spiritual and anthropological lore, consisting of dozens of individual accounts of the existence of a sort of tribe of extremely short, unique people in the mountains of Morocco. While these tales may have been fancy, the possibility of a dislocated splinter group of pygmies in the region does technically exist.The spiritual backdrop of dwarf worship that therefore exists, either as the result of fanciful folklore or literal reality, is of considerable interest and represents a potentially unique anthropological facet that existed (at least potentially) in part because of colonialism and Westernization.
