The Frank C. Brown Collection of NC Folklore: Vol. VII: Popular Beliefs and Superstitions from North Carolina, pt. 2 [Hardcover]

Newman Ivey White (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 29, 1977

Frank C. Brown organized the North Carolina Folklore Society in 1913. Both Dr. Brown and the Society collected stores from individuals—Brown through his classes at Duke University and through his summer expeditions in the North Carolina mountains, and the Society by interviewing its members—and also levied on the previous collections made by friends and members of the Society. The result was a large mass of texts and notes assembled over a period of nearly forty years and covering every aspect of local tradition.

This review is from: The Frank C. Brown Collection of NC Folklore: Vol. VII: Popular Beliefs and Superstitions from North Carolina, pt. 2 (Hardcover)

I ordered Volumes 6 and 7 of the Frank C. Brown Collection of North Carolina Folklore. This collection, one of the most comprehensive in the field of folklore, is now out of print. The two volumes I ordered from this vender were shipped quickly, were packed securely, and were in better condition than advertised. I am thoroughly please with both the books I received -- and the merchant's service.
