For folklorists, students, as well as general readers, this is the
most comprehensive survey of American folktales and legends
currently available. It offers an amazing variety of American
legend and lore - everything from Appalachian Jack tales, African
American folklore, riddles, trickster tales, tall tales, tales of
the supernatural, legends of crime and criminals, tales of women,
and even urban legends.The anthology is divided into three main
sections - Native American and Hawaiian Narratives, Folktales, and
Legends - and within each section the individual stories explore
the myriad narrative traditions and genres from various geographic
regions of the United States. Each section and tale genre is
introduced and placed in its narrative context by noted folklorist
Frank de Caro. Tale type and motif indexes complete the work.
