Summary

A revelation of the hidden wealth of the "ordinary" people and activities that we see so often and are so familiar with that we never stop to notice. From poems in hiding, the secrets of music, personal stories, dreams, and names, to the surprising source of familiar quotations Ruth’s anthropological eye brings us to see, perhaps for the first time, some of the many amazing wonders that surround us.
