"Covering information across time periods and continents, this truly is a multicultural and multidisciplinary approach to folklore studies."  (American Reference Books Annual, 1 November 2015)“This 660-page anthology is important, containing thirty-six essays by thirty-three scholars, who represent different countries and approaches to the study of folklore.”  (Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, 1 March 2014)“A Companion to Folkloreis nothing if not international, and this quality alone distinguishes it from most earlier reference works and makes it an important resource for the field.”  (Western Folklore, 1 May 2013“If so, we will have gained tremendously through the one-time exposure that this high-profile, and intellectually rich, project will have provided us, as well as from the technical and political-economic lessons that it can teach us. These are among the upsides, for which I am very grateful. At a simple level, I am tremendously appreciative of the work undertaken by the editors and for the gift of a review copy, which I know I will be consulting constantly in the years ahead.”  (Journal of Folklore Research, 3 April 2013)Named CHOICE Outstanding Title for 2012 “Nearly all college and university libraries will want this book.  Summing Up: Essential.  All academic levels/libraries.”  (Choice, 1 November 2012)
