This book was an interesting read. It contains many different tidbits of Scottish folk-lore and superstitions, including history and reasons for some superstitions that are still around today (how 4-leaf clovers are lucky, what sort of bad luck breaking a mirror brings, ect).
Honestly, as a reader, I found that the actual writing of the book was a bit dull. It was good to skim, just dry to read all in one go, especially when the author meandered off-topic (though sometimes that was interesting, too). Then again, as a writer (or at least a collector of ideas), I found this to be fascinating stuff, and would love to use some of the information contained herein in world-building for a fantasy setting.
