Book of Proverbs
Description:
The Cassell Book of Proverbs presents a rich survey of popular wisdom from many lands and ages, ranging from the cryptic inscrutability of the Chinese - 'The one legged never stumble' - to the more prosaic caveat from Borneo - 'You may plant bitter cucumber on a bed of sago and manure it with honey, water it with treacle and train it to grow over sugar-cane; yet, when cooked, it will still be bitter to the taste'.Over 1500 proverbs are included, arranged according to themes that vary from sea-lore and weather-lore, to birds and animals, to witches and the Devil.
