Beautiful illustrations, and interesting facts. Although awkwardly written in some parts.

I have taken to reading anything that is illustrated by Karl James Mountford, because his illustrations are so stunning. But sadly, that was the only really good thing about this book. I mean the content was okay, but it was mostly common knowledge, very basic information about superstitions, and the writing style was also very unremarkable. There also were a lot of distracting spelling errors. This definitely needed more proof-reading.

I really liked the dark side of the book, but the light side let me down a little.
