From the Author
Are redheads cool or what? It's taken over ten years of research to find the facts and information that I present in this book - information that defines the redhead culture - without really identifying it. I didn't want to write a book that just listed names of redhead celebrities and famous people, although there are names of hundreds in the book. More interesting to me were the surveys and studies that show how redheads are perceived by others, and how they perceive themselves. I was also fascinated to find all the strange historical data concerning redheads, with contradicting folklore and fables. I'm proud to be a redhead myself, and I invite every redhead and redhead admirer to get The Redhead Encyclopedia to discover for themselves a truckload of neat information and little-known secrets about the flame-haired.
