Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lays and Legends When on the West broke light from out the East, Then from the splendour and the shame of Rome Renouncing wealth and pleasure, game and feast, And all the joys of his polluted home, Desiring not the gifts his world could give, If haply he might save his soul and live Into the desert's heart a man had come. His God had died for love of him, and he For love of God would die to all of these Sweet sins he had not known for sins, and be Estranged for evermore from rest and ease His days in penance spent might half atone For the iniquity of days bygone, And in the desert might his soul find peace. Crossing wide seas, he reached an alien land By mighty harbours and broad streams he passed Into an arid, trackless waste Of sand, And journeying ever faster and more fast, Left men behind, and onward still did press To a ruined city in the wilderness, And there he stayed his restless feet at last. There stood long lines of columns richly wrought, Colossal statues of forgotten kings, Vast shadowy temples, court within dim court, Great shapes of man-faced beasts with wide firm wings And in and out each broken colonnade The bright-eyed, swift, green-gleaming lizards played, In that still place the only living things.

This book was released on 2011-02-07 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If you enjoy these too-good-to-be-true tales, Brunvand's new book will give you hours of pleasure."—Chicago Tribune A fabulously entertaining book from the ultimate authority on those almost believable tales that always happen to a "friend of a friend." Alligators in the sewers? A pet in the microwave? A tragic misunderstanding of the function of cruise control? No, it didn't really happen to your friend's sister's neighbor: it's an urban legend. And no matter how savvy you think you are, you are sure to find in this collection of over 200 tales at least one story you would have sworn was true. Jan Harold Brunvand has been collecting and studying this modern folklore for over twenty years. In Too Good to Be True he captures the best stories in their best retellings, along with their latest variations and examples of how the stories have changed as they move from person to person and place to place. To help you find your favorite, Brunvand has arranged the tales thematically. "Bringing Up Baby" is full of episodes of child-rearing gone wrong, including the grisly tale of the drugged out baby-sitter who mistakes the kid for a turkey. "Funny Business" showcases stories of infamous lapses in customer service, such as the story of the shockingly expensive chocolate chip cookie recipe. And "The Criminal Mind" features both brilliant --if they were real --scams, as well as the purported antics of the less mentally gifted. Whether you want to become an expert debunker or just have plenty of laughs, this book will surprise and entertain you. Illustrated throughout. "Informative and entertaining.... Brunvand has collected more than 200 of the most-repeated and best-known examples of modern folk-myth."—Tampa Tribune "[N]ot only an entertaining anthology, but an excellent introduction to the study of folklore itself."—Publishers Weekly "A fun read... . All the classics are here from the killer upstairs to the Kentucky Fried Rat."—New City "Resonant stories that express our hidden anxieties ... make us laugh, [or] arouse our fascinated horror."—San Francisco Chronicle Book Review "Informative and entertaining... . Brunvand has collected more than 200 of the most-repeated and best-known examples of modern folk-myth."—Tampa Tribune "[N]ot only an entertaining anthology, but an excellent introduction to the study of folklore itself."—Publishers Weekly

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legends of Long Ago (Sieben Legenden) Keller's townspeople are still fond of showing the favorite haunts of the old poet, who died in 1890, and of telling anecdotes of his kindly humor and genial bluntness. And well may, the people of Switzerland point to him with pride, for it was the Florentine day of their national art when two men whose names would have made famous any city in Christendom, Gottfried Keller and Arnold Bocklin, lived and wrought in a single Swiss town. The Sieben Legenden represents Keller at his best. Their naive ingenuousness, poetic charm, and quaint humor have made these legends a favorite book among German-speaking peeples the world over. They are offered here, for the first time in English, in the hope that this little volume may add to the enjoyment of many who love the whole some and the pure in literature.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legends, Ballads, and Songs of the Lee If welcome, then, to our own fireside, how thrilling to the heart of the exile must be the chronicles of home, if pining on the arid sands of India, or snowed up in a log-cabin through the long American winter, when the events of the Beautiful City and the legends of her sparkling river are brought before his vision; causing, at one moment, the merry ringing laugh at some quaint remembrance, or the silent tear of regret when he thinks, mayhap, of his distant home and the moss grown graveyard, where rest the bones of his venerated ancestors. If this little volume has accomplished but one-half the foregoing, what its writer sincerely wishes, he is repaid, and its mission is fulfilled.

Historical and romantic souvenirs hang like tattered drapery around the fair City of the Straits. Interest and curiosity have only to shake its venerable folds to scatter fragmentary history and legendary lore. These weird tales, quaint customs and beautiful traditions have been handed down from generation to generation as sacred trusts. Originally brought from their cradle in Normandy, they are still tenderly cherished in the homes of the old families of Norman descent settled along le Detroit. It has been my good fortune to hear many of them from loving, though aged lips of ancestors whose memories extend back into the last century.
