Intricate Eggs

Intricate Eggs Review



I bought this book for my mom because she had already done the intricate decorations and loved it. She is now working in this book and says it is every bit as much fun.

Flights of Fancy, Leaps of Faith: Children's Myths in Contemporary America

Flights of Fancy, Leaps of Faith: Children's Myths in Contemporary America Review






Flights of Fancy, Leaps of Faith: Children's Myths in Contemporary America Overview


Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy—is there still a place for these imaginary creatures in today's skeptical society? More importantly, is it appropriate to encourage children to believe in these myths? In Flights of Fancy, Leaps of Faith, Cindy Dell Clark went straight to children and their parents for the answers. Using their insights, she offers fresh, new interpretations of the cultural and psychological roles these figures play in children's lives. Complete with children's vivid testimonies and colorful illustrations, this book is a revealing journey into a child's mind and world.

"A very enjoyable read, this book is a seriously researched record of children's myths, written with the observant accuracy of an anthropologist."—Nadja Reissland, Common Knowledge

"Clark posits some novel interpretations as well as intriguing glimpses for parents, teachers, and psychologists into the ways children shape our culture rather than merely being passive inheritors of it."—Booklist

Eastertide in Pennsylvania: A Folk-Cultural Study Overview


60 b/w photos 25 illustrations 7 x 9
* 40th Anniversary Edition

First published in 1960 and written by a pioneer in American folklife studies, this classic work explores the folk practices surrounding the Easter holidays, from Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday and Whitsuntide. Interviews and newspaper reports, from the eighteenth century through the early twentieth century, record the evolution of holiday traditions, including fastnachts, the Easter Rabbit, decorated eggs, and Easter-egg trees. Don Yoder has contributed a new foreword which focuses on the folklife center responsible for this definitive work and an afterword, which examines current research on the holidays.

Alfred L. Shoemaker and Don Yoder were founders of the Pennsylvania Folklife Society and both served as editor of its serial, Pennsylvania Folklife. Shoemaker wrote several groundbreaking books and pamphlets on Pennsylvania folklife, including Christmas in Pennsylvania (0-8117-0328-2). Yoder, who lives in Devon, Pennsylvania, is coauthor of Hex Signs (0-8117-2799-8) and author of countless articles on Pennsylvania Dutch folk cultures.
