- In Grandmother's House: Thai Folklore, Traditions, and Rural Village Life - Sorasing Kaowai and Peter Robinson. A memoir, but filled with traditional folklore from Thailand.
- Six Mi'kmaq Stories - Ruth Holmes Whitehead. Small collection of stories from the Native American people originally from the Nova Scotia region of Canada.
- Eve of the Festival: Making Myth in Odyssey 19 - Olga Levaniuk. Published by the Center for Hellenic Studies. A discussion of myth-making as communicative device in the Odyssey.
- North Pennsylvania Minstrelsy: As Sung in the Backwoods Settlements, Hunting Cabins and Lumber Camps of Northern Pennsylvania, 1840-1910 - Henry Wharton Shoemaker. Reprint of a 1919 collection.
- Little Red Riding Hood and Other Classic French Fairy Tales - ed. by Jack Zipes. Paperback. Seriously, anything with Prof. Zipes's name on it is worth checking out.
- The Hero: A Study in Tradition, Myth and Drama - Lord Raglan. Dover Books on Literature and Drama. A low-priced reproduction of Raglan's classic study (which has not aged all that well, if you're asking me).
- The Polar Eskimos - Erik Holtved. This looks very interesting - the book itself gives off the appearance of a standard ethnography, but it is actually a collection of stories, storytellers and variants from the native population around Thule, Greenland, collected in the middle of the last century.
- Victorian Occultism and the Making of Modern Magic: Invoking Tradition - Alison Butler. Palgrave Historical Studies in Witchcraft and Magic.
The stack just keeps growing!
