What is The Encyclopedia of Superstitions about?
A classic reference work with readable entries that are like short stories in themselves. In this fully researched book, every superstition was found to have existed in Britain, so many people certaintly did (and a lot still do!) believe these tales. Here are the charms once in daily use in dairy and kitchen; spells used by witches--and against them; fairy lore and legend; folk remedies and customs of birth, marriage, and death. A book to muse over...not without an occasional chill down the spine! --jacket flap
