In England glaubte man früher, es bringe Glück, wenn der erste Weg eines Neugeborenen nach oben führt. Deshalb musste die Hebamme das Baby sofort nach der Entbindung die Treppe hoch schleppen - oder ersatzweise mit ihm auf einen Stuhl oder eine Leiter klettern.§§Stephen Arnott hat eine Unmenge solcher liebenswerter historischer Bräuche, aber auch skurriler oder makabrer Gewohnheiten aus aller Welt gesammelt. So erfahren wir zum Beispiel, warum man im Kongo beim Biertrinken eine Glocke läutet, unter welchen Umständen ein Inder früher mit einem Schaf verheiratet wurde und dass russische Priester einst von den Bäuerinnen über Getreidefelder gerollt wurden, damit die Ernte gut wurde.
