"Throughout the world, popular wisdom attributes the hand of fate to countless acts and events; some of these signs are favourable, others malign. Reason should triumph over instinct, but does it?
Omens are everywhere; they lurk in our subconscious and often affect our social behaviour and our attitudes. It is essential to know how to recognise and interpret them as a safeguard when we find ourselves in potentially alarming situations. The authors of The Dictionary of Superstitions have put together a fascinating collection of anecdotes which will never cease to entertain and provoke."
