Trade Review
An important re-introduction of an American folklore classic. - Carl Lindahl, University of Houston ""A collection of traditions, tales, superstitions, practices, and folk biographies that range from the slyly humorous to the bawdy.... These are human beings, a folk, not sitting for a portrait, but caught alive as it were in fine amber, a permanent possession."" - Thelma G. James, Journal of American Folklore
