Sinopsis:
"This collection of riddles serves two purposes. It is, in the first place, a corpus of English traditional riddling ... . The widely scattered small collections of English popular riddles are here assembled and arranged systematically. An extensive view of the parallels and of related riddles provides a foundation for comparative studies." Archer Taylor
