"Adonis Attis Osiris, Studies in the History of Oriental Religions" was originally published as Part IV of Fraser's well known: "The Golden Bough, A Study in Magic and Religion", his monumental and relevant work on Folklore and Mythology, and deals in specific with festivals, and rites of harvest, death, and rebirth in which he saw the origins of religions.
