[T]his title is highly recommended, particularly for public
libraries and academic libraries, especially those with programs
that would study folktales and fairy tales at the undergraduate and
graduate level.
*ARBA*
The four volumes are of considerable note. They cover a vast field
of both traditional and literary folktales and fairy tales,
together with their modern offshoots and, apart from their use for
research purposes, there is much that will interest the general
reader who is prepared to sit down and take the time to leaf
through and enjoy them. Also, the cross-references often lead to
unexpected connections that one might not otherwise have explored.
. . . The books are a feast. Volume 4, alone, is of the utmost
importance in contributing to understanding the world of traditions
that surround us and that form the fabric of our society.
*B.C. Folklore*
The earlier edition was stellar, the only caveat being there needed
to be more of it. And now in this second edition, one fortunately
does have more. . . . This encyclopedic work is indispensable, and
there is nothing remotely like it in English. . . . Libraries of
all sizes and types will want to add it. Summing Up: Essential. All
readership levels.
*Choice*
[A] well-organized, well-documented introduction to folklore. This
set is recommended for most academic and large public libraries.
Those owning the original version will want to consider this for
replacement.
