About This Item
New York: W.W. Norton, 2014. Revised ed. Trade paperback. Light shelfwear. Remainder mark. Very Good. 539 pp. Notes. Revised edition, with a new chapter. A fabulously entertaining from the ultimate authority on those almost-believable tales that always happen to a 'friend of a friend,' Alligators in the sewers? A pet in the microwave? A tragic misunderstanding of the function of cruise control? No, it didn't really happen to your friend's sister's neighbor: It's an urban legend. And no matter how savvy you think you are, you are sure to find in this collection of more than 200 tales at least one story you would have sworn was true.
Jan Harold Brunvand has been collecting and studying this modern folklore for more than 20 years. In Too Good to Be True, he captures the best stories in their best retellings along with their latest variations and examples of how the stories have changed as they move from person to person and place to place. To help you find your favorite, Brunvand has arranged the tales thematically.
