Pale blue cloth-covered boards with illustrated green DW. Very good condition; minor foxing to edges of text block. Internally clean and unmarked.

Colours, numbers, days of the week, even birds, animals and flowers, all have their associated superstitions, many of them stemming from far back in the past yet surviving today in modern guises. In this fascinating collection of superstitions of all kinds from all ages and many countries, the author unearths some odd and delightful beliefs and local stories.
