Who does not need good luck?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This book is charming and easy to read. Superstitious? Yes, but who does not need a little bit of good luck living in a society today? It is humorous and will be great for party conversation.
"charm"-ing book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
A lovely little book filled with occasionally funny, occasionally sweet, always fascinating tidbits of folklore. Each story or one-liner about various methods of finding good luck is insight into another time or culture. A light-hearted collection of good luck charms from around the world. Everyone can use a little luck, and this book gives you plenty of options for finding what works for you -- or at least making you smile.
