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.

    What a great experience. Michael 537 immediately responded to my purchase & the book was sent out right away. I received the book in 6 days, which included a weekend. That is lighting-fast for a book. The packaging was the finest I've ever seen for a book. The book was excellent condition, better than advertised, & it was even a signed copy. I shopped around and this was the best price I could find. This is a seller aiming to please,& I'm very pleased!
