Wonderful romp through the land of unlucky cars, plays you should never produce, witch hunts then and now and encounters with the Evil Eye. The author sometimes seems to get over-excited and you can't always tell which character he is talking about, but overall the stories move right along and keep you involved. Includes a very large bibliography so the reader can learn more.
