Ilona TUOMI, John CAREY, Barbara HILLERS and Ciarán Ó GEALBHÁIN (eds), Charms, Charmers and Charming in Ireland: From the Medieval to the Modern (University of Wales Press) was shortlisted for the Folklore Society's Katharine Briggs Award for 2020, postponed due to the pandemic.

The judges commented: "This themed volume provoked much discussion about the scope of edited collections. Despite its apparent narrowness of content, its many valuable chapters probe a wide range of topics across a very broad timeframe."
