| Book description |
America's preoccupation with the supernatural has deeper roots than the current vogue for the macabre might suggest. The classic tales selected for this definitive collection clearly show the formative influence of the myths and legends of England and Germany. Each tale is representative of its native source, whether it is the literary traditions of New England and the South, or the seriocomic folklore of the Frontier, the Negro, or the American Indian. | |
