### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Not very entertaining
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 27, 2007*

I was looking for Urban Legend books for use in my classroom. I found many written by Brunvand at a good price, so I bought the lot without previewing his work. This was a mistake on my part because his books are very academic. I was looking for stories to inspire creative writing, but these are more informational than entertaining. I was disappointed, but at the same time I recognize the value of the book. The author goes through many stories, categorically, and debunks the myths. He generally gives short versions of common stories. It was educational, but not in the way I was hoping.

    Urban Legends Four
  

*by J***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 31, 2011*

This is the fourth book in Jan Harold Brunvand's series on urban legends. It follows 
  
The Vanishing Hitchhiker







  
  
    ,
  
The Choking Doberman







  
  
     and 
  
The Mexican Pet







  
  
    .  This book tells interesting, and mostly untrue stories that were circulating in the late eighties.Stories are organized into seven chapters which have the themes of "horrors," automobile legends, animal legends, accidents and mishaps, sex and scandals, business, professional and government legends, and academic legends.A few favorites:- A mother steams the stamp off of the envelope containing a letter from her prisoner-of-war son to find the message "They've cut off my hands!"- A woman sells her cheating husband's car for a dollar and sends him the money.- A dog follows a visitor into the house from the front yard and makes a mess of the place.  It turns out the dog was a stray and each woman assumed it belonged to the other.- A woman feels bad about a funeral service with few attendees, so she signs the guest book.  Later she receives a large sum of money designated in the deceased's will for "whomever attends my funeral."- There is supposedly an academic policy that a student will be given "straight A's" for the semester if his or her roommate commits suicide.As in previous volumes, the stories are entertaining and their debunking is instructive.  The book does show it's age in that many of the stories seem no longer to be in circulation.  For a more serious and methods-oriented discussion of urban legends and other folklore, see the most recent version of Brunvand's text, 
  
The Study of American Folklore: An Introduction
