GYPSY RICKWOOD'S FORTUNE TELLING BOOK. By Gypsy Rickwood. This
intriguing book on the mystic art of fortune telling was first
published in the 1920s, and is very scarce in its first edition.
OBSCURE BOOKS PRESS has now re-published it using the original
text. Gypsy Rickwood wrote this book "for the English speaking
public in the hope that would give good counsel to many, and some
amusement to those who regard it simply as a game." His method is a
very old one, practiced by wandering tribes of gypsies long before
it was ever set down roughly on paper, and the answers to the
questions have been slightly modernized by the original translator.
One hundred and twenty five pages are divided into the fifty four
questions which a fortune teller is most likely to be asked. These
are almost always on four main subjects: - Concerning Life. -
Concerning Love. - Concerning Chance. - The Last Lap. (Old age and
the distant Future.) The gypsy's reply depends upon a turn of the
card, with some 3000 answers listed in the book. The author
emphasises that the accuracy of the answers depends largely on the
sincerity of the questioner. If questions of an unsuitable nature
are asked, the answers should be given in the same frivolous vein
This is a most entertaining little book which will prove both a
source of amusement to some and thought provoking to others. "From
the truth to a lie is but a hands-breadth." Romany Proverb.
