I learned a lot from just a few pages! I just wish they had either sources for the information given or related sources with each superstition for if you want to learn more about it and its origins.

Explains interesting superstitions and old wives' tales.
This short book exactly hits the spot. It deals with many, many interesting superstitions and old wives' tales, devoting a small amount of information about each (but just enough) to clarify many weird and mysterious notions. For those interested in such things, this can't be beat. It takes these strange ideas seriously, and tries to document their origins, never deprecating them or minimizing their importance in our society. I strongly recommend it.
