American Regional Folklore : A Sourcebook and Research Guide

Rating:
Summary: A reference book to other references resources
Review: American Regional Folklore: A Sourcebook And Research Guide is a reference book to other references resources. It does not provide retellings of American myths directly, but rather presents overview essays by expert folklore scholars of various U.S. regions, directs the reader to fully annotated bibliographies, offers a list of literary authors who incorporate folklore themes into their writings, presents the locations of folklore-related museums as well as a selection of folklore journals and websites, and much more. An excellent starting point for any campaign of intense personal research into a given American tall tale, and very highly recommended, especially for academic, public, and personal library reference shelves.
