Foreword by Roger D Abrahams. Frontispiece. 376 pp. Index. Bibliography. Notes. This is the first work to deal systematically with Tuscan folklore from a semiotic and structural viewpoint and to examine the "veglia" as a means of handing down traditional values.

'Folklore by the Fireside' is a thorough and perceptive study of this custom - from the tales, riddles, lullabies, and folk prayers performed as the small children are put to bed to the courtship songs and dances later in ther evening to the anti-veglia male gossip, card games, and protest songs originating in the tavern.; 000138; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .
