Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legends of the Netherlands: To Which Are Added Some Legends of Manhattan Island The Tectosages B. C. 390 - 280 Who shall sing of the Tectosages, Sons of marshy Belgian soil, Foremost where the battle rages, Seeking conquest, loving spoil? Gaul has seen their roving legions, Of resistance making mock, Occupy her choicest regions, Settling in fair Languedoc. Not yet are their wanderings ended, Down the Danube pour their hordes, Macedonia, undefended, Heeds their summons, dreads their swords. Swim they next the deep Bosphorus, Timid Asia fears the fray, Hears their wild, barbaric chorus, Yields to their imperious sway.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating book uncovers the history behind urban legends and explains how the contemporary iterations of familiar fictional tales provide a window into the modern concerns—and digital advancements—of our society. What do ghost hunting, legend tripping, and legendary monsters have in common with email hoaxes, chain letters, and horror movies? In this follow-up to Libraries Unlimited's Tales, Rumors, and Gossip: Exploring Contemporary Folk Literature in Grades 7–12, author Gail de Vos revisits popular urban legends, and examines the impact of media—online, social, and broadcast—on their current iterations. What Happens Next? Contemporary Urban Legends and Popular Culture traces the evolution of contemporary legends from the tradition of oral storytelling to the sharing of stories on the Internet and TV. The author examines if the popularity of contemporary legends in the media has changed the form, role, and integrity of familiar legends. In addition to revisiting some of the legends highlighted in her first book, de Vos shares new tales in circulation which she sees as a direct result of technological advancements.
