The book explores the rich tapestry of folk beliefs and practices unique to the island of Guernsey, drawing from various sources including the author's own research and accounts from local residents. It serves to document and preserve the cultural heritage of the island, which has been influenced by its history and its people's connections to broader folkloric traditions. The opening of "Guernsey Folk Lore" introduces the author's intention to collect the island's folk stories and customs before they vanish due to modernization and the decline of traditional beliefs. In the preface, MacCulloch reflects on the challenge of preserving these narratives in the face of changing societal norms, specifically pointing out the fading of old customs among younger generations. He shares that many tales were passed down by the island's residents, including memories from an elderly family servant. The beginning sets the stage for an exploration of various aspects of Guernsey's folk lore, highlighting not only the stories themselves but also the social context in which they were told and preserved.
