Synopsis
One of the most comprehensive and widely praised introductions to folklore ever written. Toelken's discussion of the history and meaning of folklore is delivered in straightforward language, easily understood definitions, and a wealth of insightful and entertaining examples. Toelken emphasizes dynamism and variety in the vast array of folk expressions he examines, from "the biology of folklore," to occupational and ethnic lore, food ways, holidays, personal experience narratives, ballads, myths, proverbs, jokes, crafts, and others. Chapters are followed by bibliographical essays, and over 100 photographs illustrate the text. This new edition is accessible to all levels of folklore study and an essential text for classroom instruction.

    Completely satisfied, this book was exactly as represent in quality and, in my opinion, better in condition/ appearance than stated...entire transaction was professional, fast and friendly with good communication...packaging was adequate, with the item arriving in excellent condition...A+ seller. (Please allow me to take this opportunity to say that A+ should suffice as the highest recommendation. The excessive use of the letter A and plus signs degrades the accuracy of the appraisal system)
