Description:
Chapel Hill, NC: The University of North Carolina Press, 1994. Soft cover. Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; single light crease to front inside edge near spine; light wear to inside corners; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; Jack in Two Worlds is a unique collection of "Jack" stories (like in "Jack and the Beanstalk") that brings together eight of these stories as transcribed from actual performances by tellers and eight interpretive essays by leading folktale scholars. Unlike previous collections of Jack tales, the tales in this volume have been transcribed verbatim and are presented in a format that preserves much of the oral quality of the taletellers' craft. The result is a body of richly nuanced tales that can be read with pleasure both by scholars who are studying the Jack tale tradition and by general readers who love a good story.
