Witches of New York
'Witches of New York' Summary
In Witches of New York, Q.K. Philander Doesticks recounts his visits to various fortune tellers, card readers, seers, and other "witches" of New York. Doesticks is a keen observer of human nature, and he uses his wit and satire to poke fun at the gullibility of those who seek out these services. Doesticks's account is both entertaining and thought-provoking, and it offers a unique glimpse into the world of fortune-telling in 19th-century New York.Book Details
