What is Eating Your Auntie Is Wrong : the World's Strangest Customs about?

Traversing continents and centuries, Stephen Arnott has collected all manner of bizarrely fascinating customsfrom sexual practices to the received wisdom on cannibalism. The ancient Greeks, for example, thought a woman would not conceive if she wore a cats testicle tied in a tube across her navel. In China, the pillows under a dying persons head were often removed; it was thought that a person who died looking at their feet would bring misfortune to their children. In many parts of the world, it is thought that if three people are photographed together, one will soon dieusually the one in the middle. And stranger still, the central European cure for baldness required the sufferer to eat a fresh bowl of chicken soup laced with pubic hair. From the first page to the last, Eating Your Auntie Is Wrong will have you reading in amazement.
