50 plus one Fascinating Myths & Legends
by A.J. Alenstein
Do people really think that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day? Even if it is not commonly believed, where did this notion come from and who started it? Why did even the great Chaucer think that Friday was a bad day for events? Why do many of us think that certain numbers are lucky (or unlucky for that matter)? Is it just silly superstition or is there something that goes way back to confirm these beliefs as facts?
Do you believe the Loch Ness monster roams the lake country in Scotland? What about the Bermuda Triangle and the lost Flight 19? Is there any truth to this far-fetched story? Everyone knows that UFOs have been spotted repeatedly in Roswell, New Mexico but why do many of us continue to doubt the facts?
Every day we are inundated with myths and legends, many of which are accepted and believed by large populations of people all around the world and just as quickly dismissed by others.
50 plus one Fascinating Myths & Legends is an absolutely enjoyable and cleverly written book for readers of all ages and backgrounds. For example, is it true...
- That the silent screen version of "Poseidon Adventure" was being shown while the Titanic hit an iceberg?
- That there is a curse on American presidents elected in years evenly divided by 20?
- That James Deans' car continues to kill people to this day?
- That most people do not know the origin of the Easter Bunny?
- That a lost continent called Atlantis really exists–it just has to be found!
This is just a sample of the delightful fun readers of all ages will have with this book! Readers will enjoy this book so much that they will not want to put it down!
