Baring-Gould, who visited most of the dwellings in France that he describes, gives entertaining as well as informing particulars about souterrains, cliff refuges, cliff castles, subterranean churches, rock hermitages, rock monasteries, cave oracles, robbers’ dens, and rock sepulchers. France is his main focus, though he does discuss other European countries. He also traces the connection between the pagan oracles in caves and temples and some of the practices prevailing in parts of Christian Europe. Cliff Castles and Cave Dwellings of Europe was originally published with fifty-seven illustrations and diagrams.
