Greatest Compilation of American Folklore

I have read this book several times. It is without exception the best example of American folklore I have ever read. I have recommended it to all my reading friends and family. You will not be disappointed with it.

This is a PAUL BUNYAN of a book!

This is a true treasury of AMERICAN FOLKLORE. The book is described in the FOREWORD by Carl Sandburg as an encyclopedia of the folklore of America. It contains 500 stories and 100 songs (with words & music) - those favorite sotoes we love to tell everywhere all of the time.
