The Mexican Pet - More "New" Urban Legends and Some Old Favorites (Paperback, Reprinted edition)

"A uniquely entertaining book: edifying scholarship, diverting social history."—Elaine Kendall, Los Angeles Times

"Captures the spirit of convivial storytelling and even encourages the activity. . . . Many readers . . . will be gratified to know that Brunvand intends to continued this series of relaxed, unofficial excursions into popular legends. Admirers of curiosa and the psychology of crowds cannot affors to miss them."—Kirkus Reviews

"It is the charm of Mr. Brunvand's scholarship and presentation that he delivers the sad news of falsehood of these stories without being professorially reproachful toward those who have relayed him."—New York Times Book Review

"Together, these new wives' tales merge as an American picaresque, a compilation of myths that keep the telephone wires humming and cocktail parties doubly fueled."—Time
