Item description from seller

Hardcover with dust jacket in FAIR condition. Tears noted along edges that have been reinforced with library tape and age discolorations. Green covers with gold lettering to spine. Top, bottom and fore edges with some age brown discolorations. Pages clean and unmarked. In this revised edition there is much new material and a new emphasis on the quintessence of Yankeeism. The book concentrates on the living lore of the region, the lore that rises above the antiquarian and local to the perennial and basic. In putting the stress on the oral and storytelling traditions, all the freshness and vitality of word-to-mouth lore is retained. In the balancing of myth and historical tradition, the fabulous Yankee is given a solid basis in reality. This book is a compendium of all that's New England.
