GUIDE TO THE SUPERSTITIONS OF BRITAIN AND IRELAND |
||
Steve Roud Superbly informed and wide-ranging, this Penguin Guide provides a fascinating view of folk beliefs over two thousand years, ... as generations have sought to control the present and predict the future through such items as diverse as pins and plums, cabbage stalks and cigarette packets. The first major survey in over a generation this endlessly browsable guide looks at what people have believed and why, when particular superstitions arose, which areas of the country adopted them, and how they evolved over time.
