Analysis (1954) is important for the depth of analysis her narrow focus allowed, and John McDowell’s Children’s Riddling (1979) is similarly tightly focused, both in region and in genre. Mary and Herbert Knapp’s One Potato, Two Potato: The Secret Education of American Children (1976) helped open the way for serious consideration of children’s gross and obscene humor. Margaret K.Brady’s “SomeKindof Power”: Navajo Childrens SkinwalkerNarratives” (1984) looks at Native American children’s lore, and Bessie Jones’ and Bess Lomax Hawes’ Step It Down: Games, Plays, Songs and Stories from the Afro-American Heritage (1972) looks at the lore of African American children. Simon J.Bronner’s American Childrens Folklore (1988) continues and balances most of these trends; he deals with a wide variety of children’s folklore (including one of the few substantial surveys of material traditions available), makes some cogent, in-depth analyses, and provides an excellem bibliography C.W.Sullivan III References
