About this product
Product Information
The first major new book on British superstitions and their history in over a generation, this survey not only explains what people have believed and why, but when superstitions arose, which parts of the country adopted them, how they evolved and what people believe today. Drawing extensively on literary sources from medieval times to the present, the book settles many arguments, debunks many myths and provides in the process a fascinating sideways view of social customs and beliefs over the centuries.Product Identifiers

So entertaining.
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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
