Summary: A good reference book and fun to read
Review: I first read this book in elementary school. My mom was the first one to check it our from our local library. I had the chicken pox and I think I read it over and over for about 2 weeks. It had the greatest illustrations and the stories were so creepy. I hear that it is out of print, what a shame. I want to get it for my niece and share the memories with her. A definate 5 star book

Summary: excellent collection of superstitions
Review: One of my favorite books when I was a kid, I just "remembered" it the other day when my sister & I were arguing about superstitions. We both had checked it out from the school library...25 years or so ago!

I was able to find a copy, though it was out of print...thanks to Amazon's locater service!!

Summary: fun collection of folklore and superstitions
Review: This book is great! I'm 22 now and I remember reading this in the elementary school library. I'd check it out again and again. I always thought this book was a creepy and fun example of strange superstitions that people followed through history. It's a shame that it's out of print!
