Detailed Description
In bringing together a lifetime of scholarship by the eminent folklorist David Buchan (1939 – 1994), editors W. F. H. Nicolaisen and James Moreira take the reader beyond Buchan's ground-breaking work on ballads. These articles on folk narrative and Scottish North-East ethnology, as well as ballads, are re-printed from often difficult to locate sources.
David Buchan's published work on contemporary legend, joke, folk drama, rhyme, riddle, anecdote, custom, and folk medicine contained in this collection represents the wide-ranging achievements of one of the twentieth century's most innovative and influential folklorists.
