Yo, Ho, Me Hearty,

This review is from: Folklore and the Sea (Maritime) (Paperback)
This is a book devoted to the study of nautical folklore. It gives such things as superstitions, colorful tales, ship naming customs, songs and the like and much of the folklore of the sailors life. It is told by an author who appears in his photo like and has the personality of, exactly the person who should be dealing with the subject, a retired old salt at a seaside inn and so on. If he ever actually does tell stories at an inn, I would not find it odd.
It is a great book and one which can be read over and over. It provides splendid entertainment as well as interesting knowledge in a warmhearted manner.

Folklore and the Sea,
By Nina Gray (Westport, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Folklore and the Sea (Maritime) (Paperback)
I was researching folklore in the New England coastal region when I came across this book. It was wonderfully written and provided me with everything I was looking for. Horace Beck obviously knows what he is writting about. I give this book 5 stars!
