About This Item
This collection of ancient and popular lore is both a compilation of charms, spells, luck omens, portents, signs and taboos, and also a study of the origins and significance of these seemingly irrational beliefs. Peter Lorie is the co-author of "Nostradamus: The End of the Millennium".
Beautifully illustrated throughout. The sort of book you can just dip into any time. Excellent Christmas gift - the recipient will spend all Christmas saying "Did you know..............?"
