This new publication, the seventh in the series, includes fairy
tales, folk tales, fables, myths, and legends. The major change in
this edition is that each entry (author, title, or subject) gives
the exact source; no longer is the location found only under the
title entry. The descriptive part of an entry (formerly limited to
the title as printed) is often made more informative by the title
listing being extended, reworded, or even replaced. There are 310
collections included, 85% of them published from 1980 through 1991.
All index entries for stories in collections suitable to children
(preschool through middle school) are marked with an asterisk (*).
Books were selected by referral to reviews and/or evidence of use
in public libraries. The List of Titles Indexed includes full
bibliographic citation, the review(s) consulted, the book's reading
level, and the indexing level. The 310 titles can be classified:
all levels, including children (25%); junior/senior high school
(44%); adult public library or college (24%); graduate (7%). The
book aims at being qualitatively comprehensive for children's
collections.
This is the fifth supplement in the classic reference series begun
by Mary Huse Eastman in 1926. Ireland and Sprug analyze 262
collections published between 1978 and 1986, with some 2,000
subject headings, plus copious cross-references. Many new headings
are found in this volume, including additional adult headings of
folklore and mythology to accommodate and increase in the number of
adult books indexed on these subjects. This supplement will be
useful, therefore, to academic libraries, as well as to children's
departments in public libraries and to school libraries.
