More About This Book

Editorial Reviews

Booknews
The title was taken from J. Frank Dobie and Dick Holland, who tell about library corners that contain writings that are forever Texas, and Holland's essay, "A Corner Forever Texas: The Southwestern Writers Collection," is the leading essay in the volume. Part One is about the history of the Texas Folklore Society itself and its "sainted elders"--Dobie, John Lomax, Carl Hertzog. Part Two contains some of the Society's best papers over the past three years. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
