Comment: Containing a collection of essays and practical suggestions for applying ideas from folklore to everyday life, this book is an important contribution to those engaged in education as well as the delivery of social services. There are great ideas about using the everyday culture of various communities for intervention work in a variety of employment settings. Teachers will find useful ideas and a well-written bibliography on the use of folklore in the classroom. Park and recreation workers will find a good resource for developing projects and programs that use locally-based cultural resources for their programming.

The book also contains a good introduction to the history and practice of studying folklore, and the excellent bibliographic references will provide readers with a variety of resources for further developing the approaches offered in this volume.
