September Folklore Books

Amazon this month lists 373 books coming out this month with the keyword "folklore." Here is the cream of that crop:

• Evil People: A Comparative Study of Witch Hunts in Swabian Austria and the Electorate of Trier - Dr. Johannes Dillinger Phd. I just love typing the word 'Swabian.'
• The Oral Traditions in Ile-ife: The Yoruba People and Their Book of Enlightenment - Yemi D. Ogunyemi.
• Pop Goes the Weasel: The Secret Meanings of Nursery Rhymes - Albert Jack. This is for the lay reader, but looks interesting.
• Rostam: Tales of Love and War from the Shahnameh - Abolgasem Ferdowsi.
• Tales from a Finnish Tupa - James Cloyd Bowman, Margery Bianco. A reprint of a book that originally appeared in 1936.
• Mythematics: Solving the 12 Labours of Hercules - Michael Huber. Applying math to myth.
• Legends, Lore and Secrets of Western New York - Lorna MacDonald Czarnota.
• Myth in History, History in Myth: Proceedings of the Third International Conference of the Society for Netherlandic History - Laura Cruz & Willem Frijhoff (eds).
• Folklore and the Internet: Vernacular Expression in a Digital World - Trevor J. Blank (ed). OMIGOD! Someone turned my dissertation topic into a book! JK! LOL! ROFL! Goatse! I am so reading this book!

That last title got me so excited that I am running to the bookstore right now! I will have to finish this list later tonight.
