A treasure chest of worldwide magical customs & beliefs, I was so pleased to find this - even better, there's just one reader & he's good! (have to take off half a star for mispronunciation - hearth shouldn't be pronounced "herth" but "harth" for example but that's a minor point) Its a huge undertaking, congratulations to the reader.
