Reviews
"For those who have not previously read Rheim and who have at least an open mind on the possibility of applying psychoanalytic theory to folklore, you have an exciting intellectual treat in store for you. Once having read Rheim, you will never be able to look at folklore again as you did before exposure to these remarkable essays."Alan Dundes, from the Introduction
