Book Description
V.R.Bennett was born in an air raid shelter in the London blitz his birth cries drowned by the screaming doodle bugs as they rained from the sky. Part of a family of thirteen on a social housing estate in North London money was stretched food was scarce and personal space only existed in the toilet until the banging on the door by one or more of his siblings snatched even those precious moments shattering his daydreams into reality. The London gang wars the student and race riots became the backdrop for many of the stories and bizarre characters that drifted onto and out of his as his experience's were collected like pollen on a bumble bee legs and stored in his memories. It is this journey he laces into the stories as he writes with the ever present cockney humour that help him cope with adversity.

Book Description
A fascinating survey of the entire history of tall tales, folklore, and mythology in the United States from earliest times to the present, including stories and myths from the modern era that have become an essential part of contemporary popular culture. Folklore has been a part of American culture for as long as humans have inhabited North America, and increasingly formed an intrinsic part of American culture as diverse peoples from Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania arrived. In modern times, folklore and tall tales experienced a rejuvenation with the emergence of urban legends and the growing popularity of science fiction and conspiracy theories, with mass media such as comic books, television, and films contributing to the retelling of old myths. This multi-volume encyclopedia will teach readers the central myths and legends that have formed American culture since its earliest years of settlement. Its entries provide a fascinating glimpse into the collective American imagination over the past 400 years through the stories that have shaped it. Organized alphabetically, the coverage includes Native American creation myths, "tall tales" like George Washington chopping down his father's cherry tree and the adventures of "King of the Wild Frontier" Davy Crockett, through to today's "urban myths." Each entry explains the myth or legend and its importance and provides detailed information about the people and events involved. Each entry also includes a short bibliography that will direct students or interested general readers toward other sources for further investigation. Special attention is paid to African American folklore, Asian American folklore, and the folklore of other traditions that are often overlooked or marginalized in other studies of the topic.
