"The truth is that it's not true, not even if someone told you it happened to them (or, more likely, that it happened to a friend of a friend, referred to as FOAFs by folklorists). But if you enjoy these too-good-to-be-true tales, then Jan Harold Brunvand's new book will give you hours of pleasure. Brunvand has collected urban legends in many of his previous books, and their titles alone...are a primer on the stories that have taken root in our popular culture. In TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE Brunvand has collected many of the best tales from these books and, along with new additions, includes some of the research into the sources of these legends that is often as captivating as the stories themselves."Brunvand, Jan Harold is the author of 'Too Good to Be True The Colossal Book of Urban Legends' with ISBN 9780393320886 and ISBN 039332088X.
