5.0 out of 5 stars
An old, somewhat obscure book on superstition,
By
This review is from: Signs, Omens and Superstitions (Paperback)
Written in 1918, this is another early book on the topic of superstition, like Johnson's "What They Say in New England" and Bergen's "Current Superstitions" -- both published in 1896. This book is also like those in size, not overly extensive at around 150 pages. Unfortunately the author gives no sources, so unlike Bergen's well-known books on superstitions; we have no idea where these came from specifically. This book, unlike many books with references is a little more readable than the longer, more "scholarly" works on superstition which often just list the beliefs -- here we get a little more context. I would recommend this somewhat obscure book primarily to those with a deeper interest in this subject.
