What a fabulous little book to dip in and out of. My mother was very superstitious and as a child that totally trusted everything she said I was convinced that some things or events completely influenced my life and sealed my fate. But then I grew up. Its great to know the origins of these superstitions. Absolutely fascinating. Many thanks.

This is a great little book, which is best used by dipping into, rather than a concerted reading session. I have become more interested in this area through the works of Terry Pratchett, whose Discworld series abounds with little snippets of superstition similar to those found in this book. I would recommend this book whole heartedly.
