Into Fairy Tales? This spring, I'm offering a course on folktales and legends in American literature at Penn State. All undergraduate and graduate students welcome! Sign up today!

I’m delighted. I’ve just received my pre-release copies of “Emerging Perspectives in the Study of Folklore and Performance” from Indiana University Press! It has been a joy and an honor to work with them, our wonderful authors, and my fantastic co-editor Solimar Otero. And this volume is especially meaningful because it’s dedicated to our teacher and mentor, the late Alan Dundes and our late colleague Kit Danowski.
