Publisher's Synopsis
The Universal Fortune Teller of 1790 is the forerunner to a long tradition of oracles and works on dream interpretation, simple divinatory tricks, and astrology. Supposedly deciphered from a manuscript found in the thatched hut of a witch, the work includes everything from the Zodiac to palmistry. With an elaborate back-story to proclaim its pedigree, the Universal Fortune Teller of Mrs. Bridget is one of the most bawdy and folkish manuscripts in the entire pre-modern occult tradition.
