Folk-lore in Review
The product was received in good condition. The content therein was and is a matter of interest and fascination. As with all folk-lore, the subject matter deals with the origins of the material and is always a curiosity to the new reader, because of the overblown and extended version received over time and translations. Good stimulating reading for the imaginative. An enjoyable addition to your ...

The Legends and Myths of Hawaii; The Fables and Folk-Lore of a Strange People

And who better to write it but the last King of Hawaii! Certainly there is a slant to European influence, but I found that in the introduction. The ...

Very nice book of Americana
This book has loads of info about the early U.S., and it's written in a unique way.

Beautiful
This great volume is a more affordable work by Hyatt and is filled with useful information on the subject of rootwork and conjure.

Folk-Lore and Legends Scotland, 2010

PREFATORY NOTE The distinctive features of Scotch Folk-lore are such as might have been expected from a consideration of the characteristics of Scotch scenery. The rugged grandeur of the mountain, the solemn influence of the widespreading moor, the dark face of the deep mountain loch, the babbling of the little stream, seem all to be reflected in the popular tales and superstitions.
