The Fortune-telling Book by Gillian Kemp
From the author of The Good Spell Book, this is a primer for amateur fortune-tellers and includes short divinations (how to reveal your future love life, career and whatnot) using different fortune-telling methods, including Tarot cards, playing cards, leaves and dice. It is an easy-to-use, beautiful gift book that will unlock the secrets of the future for anyone with an apple or a pair of dice to hand.
Following on from her unexpected success with The Good Spell Book, Kemp stays in that novelty/gift book market with an appealing cloth-bound volume decked out with ribbon page marker, "hand-written" special recommendations ("If you don't have a crystal ball, use a bowl of water") and a smattering of floral illustration as a suitably decorative way to encourage divinationWhile it might not really be possible to locate your future partner with an apple seed, it's fun to experiment along with cartomancy, candle magic, dice, tea leaves and even bay leaf prediction. This is fun, makes an attractive present, and ties in with the surge of interest in all things esoteric and alternative. As astrologer Kemp concludes, "Beautiful and wonderful things do happen, we attract them to us by living in the hope and expectation of them."
