Book description
The first book to deal with the history and source of complete
superstitions which exist, or have existed among British people
throughout the world. They are presented in encyclopaedic form, so that
any individual superstition, or collective superstitions related to one
particular subject, can be found under a specified heading. Some 2300
superstitions are listed in a work of over 230,000 words. Many of the
earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before,
are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are
republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern
editions, using the original text and artwork.
