The content of the book is all true. It is easy to look back and see the pattern of how your life occurrences go after they happen. If you are not careful, you might learn something after reading how my life was impacted. This could and will happen to you also. If you think there is any way possible that if you believe and speak out loud that someone is listening, you are 100 percent correct. You do not have to believe me; the easiest, most positive way is to believe for yourself. You do not have to change anything; just as you are yourself, ask questions. Know that by finding peace and talking on a regular basis to someone who died just so you could have freedom. It is very simple, not complicated at all; those eight million minutes you spent on your phone, give it up a little. Get the app. Or read a little. If you're not careful, there might possibly be a miracle or so with your name on it. When you wake up tomorrow morning, remember Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth (BIBLE). May the faith be with you.
Dundes and Pagter clearly demonstrate the existence of folklore in the modern urban technological world and refute the notion that folklore reflects only the past.
First published in 1959, Iona and Peter Opie's The Lore and Language of Schoolchildren is a pathbreaking work of scholarship that is also a splendid and enduring work of literature. Going outside the nursery, with its assortment of parent-approved entertainments, to observe and investigate the day-to-day creative intelligence and activities of children, the Opies bring to life the rites and rhymes, jokes and jeers, laws, games, and secret spells of what has been called "the greatest of savage tribes, and the only one which shows no signs of dying out."
For the first time, Faber publish a selection from the poetry of Philip Larkin. Drawing on Larkin's four collections and on his uncollected poems. Chosen by Martin Amis. 'Many poets make us smile; how many poets make us laugh - or, in that curious phrase, "laugh out loud" (as if there's another way of doing it)? Who else uses an essentially conversational idiom to achieve such a variety of emotional effects? Who else takes us, and takes us so often, from sunlit levity to mellifluous gloom?... Larkin, often, is more than memorable: he is instantly unforgettable.' - Martin Amis
