| Editorial Review | Highly recommended." - The Book Report "Thorough-going yet concise, this reference fills an important need . . . Highly recommended for all academic collections as a reference that affords a glimpse into the soul of folk narration." - Library Journal "The intelligent articles should prove useful to students of the folktale, to anyone looking for a fresh approach to the classics, or for multicultural views of the art of storytelling." - School Library Journal "The encyclopedia serves a highly useful purpose in addition to offering a pleasant place to leap and linger. The entries give scholars a quick means by which they can gain a basic understanding of terms, concepts, ideas, and important figures, and they also provide a starting list of references that can provide a valuable entrée into further study." - Journal of Folklore Research |
