The personal site of Daniel Patrick Quinn, 117 Slyne Road, Bolton-le-Sands, Carnforth, Lanes LA5 8AH, UK. Provides pictures of the grotesque horned mask of a folklore figure known as the "Ooser" or "Oozer," along with detailed docummented commentary about what he knows of the mask and accounts of his efforts to find further information about it.
COMMENT:
The Ooser is mentioned by Hardy both in The Return of the Native, Book IV, Chapter 6, and in "The First Countess of Wessex." Mr. Quinn's research is very detailed and thorough.
