Lucky You!

Some people seem to have all the luck. But how can we get to be so lucky ourselves? Our forbears had a much clearer idea of what luck was and how it operated, whether it be in facing the hazards of mining, seafaring or childbirth or more mundane challenges such as gambling, falling in love and walking under ladders. We remember a few of them, but we've forgotten a lot more. From the moment of getting up in the morning, our ancestors offer us innumerable time-honoured ways to bolster our chances of success through the day ahead. This book is packed with fascinating traditional tips to safeguard and even promote your share of luck, whatever you plan doing. If you're not sure what to do if you see a magpie, break a mirror, or say the same thing as your friend at exactly the same time, this could be a lucky book for you.
