Publisher : The title is derived from a nursery rhyme, "Monday's Child. "

Tuesday's Child is full of grace,
Wednesday's Child is full of woe,
Thursday's Child has far to go,
Friday's Child is loving and giving,
Saturday's Child works hard for a living,
But the Child that is born on the Sabbath Day is witty and wise and good and gay!"
