Sinossi

Absurd Everyday Laws explores the strange and often humorous regulations still in existence today, offering insights into legal history, social control, and the evolution of social norms. It's more than just a list of oddities; it reveals how seemingly nonsensical laws reflect the values and anxieties of past societies, influencing our lives even now. For instance, the book examines how laws governing everything from food and drink to personal conduct originated, and why some, like prohibitions on Sunday alcohol sales, persist.

 
The book approaches its subject by first introducing the concept of absurd laws and their origins, from historical context to unintended legislative consequences. It then delves into themed chapters focusing on laws related to areas such as food, transportation, and public behavior, providing historical context for each.

 
Finally, Absurd Everyday Laws analyzes the implications of these laws, examining their roles in society, the legal challenges they present, and arguments for and against their repeal, ultimately offering a framework for evaluating laws in a changing world, making it valuable for those interested in social science or politics.

    Tales of fairies and bewitching Little People have amazed and horrified New Englanders for over four hundred years. 
     
     
     
    In the nineteenth century, residents of Marblehead, Massachusetts, reported malicious pixies leading them in circles at dusk. In Aroostook County, Maine, elves called lutins exasperated farmers with their mischievous tricks and games. In Uncasville, Connecticut, beguiling creatures emerged for centuries at twilight to collect corn-filled baskets from members of the Mohegan Tribe. And in Harrisville, Rhode Island, a vision of fearful banshees augured death to an Irish seer. 
     
     
     
    From the ancient tales of Algonquian elders to the fireside stories of European immigrants, Andrew Warburton scours New England folklore to uncover the secrets of the region's Fair Folk and the storytellers who've encountered them through the years.
