Format:Taschenbuch
I have owned this book for several years now and still enjoy thumbing through it. If you buy this book you will not be disappointed. I was amazed to find many of my parent's superstitions right here : like NEVER putting shoes on the table. I could never understand why putting NEW shoes (even if they were still in the box) on the table horrified my parents. Now I know. This book is well-written and delightful as well as informative.

Ozark Magic and Folklore/Vance Randolph
4. April 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
Wonderful lifetime body of research collected as he lived among the Ozark people. I grew up in Ozark Co. in the 60's-70's and was fortunate to see and hear much of the rich folklore he records. For an outsider (even marrying into an Ozark clan didn't make him a local boy) Randolph obtained a staggering amount of information which is presented in a humerous yet respectful style. When so much of our culture preverted for the neon cash/trash of Branson it's refreshing to read Randolph and remember when stories were told around wood fired stoves and in the summer's evening on front porches. Anyone interested in the real Ozarks should read this...and before you dismiss it all as ignorant fantasy,I can attest that witching water works, and I've touched the otherworldly feather crowns found in death pillows among many other oddities he records.....can't explain it but here it is for what it's worth.

GREAT READ AND WONDERFUL REFERENCE BOOK
14. August 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
This work was first published in 1948, ergo, the author was quite close to his subject. The book is very well researched and the author is very careful to mention and note is sources. Having lived in the Ozarks all of my life these stories are quite dear to me. I am quite familiar with all the areas mentioned in the book, and indeed know or knew many of the people mentioned. What the author presents here is quite factual and quite accurate. This work addresses just what the title states "Ozark magic and folklore." Over the past several years some horrible changes have taken place, i.e. Branson, et al. The customs, folkways and beliefs of this wonderful area are just about gone (just about, but still some thankfully linger) and works such as this go far in preserving the memory of a time we probably will not again see. Some of the interesting areas covered are crops and livestock, marrage, weddings, household superstitions, mountain medicine, pregnancy and childbirth, and much, much more. I cannot recommend this one highly enough.

Affectionate review of a great world-view
23. März 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
This is an affectionate and amazingly detailed journalistic look at the folklore of northern Arkansas and southern Missouri during the last generation before television, the 1930s and 40s. The lucky persons who read this book will be amazed at the depths of complexity and sophistication which Vance Randolph's neighbors brought to bear when living their daily lives. Now that the world of folklore-belief is as dead as a doornail (except in bits and pieces, such as Hollywood gossip), we can see how admirable their achievement was. Read this book.
