Ladders, black cats, horseshoes and four-leaf clovers open this cheerful compendium of the things that bring good and bad luck, followed by talismans, hints on telling fortunes, and a long course in palmistry covering the shape of the hand, the mounts, and the life, head, heart and fortune lines. The author insists most superstitions rest on common sense.
Read as a document of popular belief rather than a guide, it is an entertaining record of everyday superstition. Download the free EPUB.
