"Art historians will have to take notice of this study of folklore as broad cultural pattern. Using selected examples to show how patterns operate, he draws from diverse areas: architecture (the section on barns is particularly well done), tools, ethnic cookery, small boats, and many other forms. Careful definitions and a scholarly approach to a hitherto obscure subject are the book's greatest values."--ChoiceHenry Glassie is the author of 'Pattern in the Material Folk Culture of the Eastern United States (Folklore and Folklife)', published 1971 under ISBN 9780812210132 and ISBN 0812210131.
