From NEW YORK FOLKLORE (Vol. 5, Nos. 1-2):
"To many high school students, folklore is synonymous with the stories they heard as children about kind and evil fairies, magic frogs and wands ... [or] the stories and customs from the times of their grandparents ... While both these assessments are of course correct, each is informed—albeit naively—by the assumption that folklore must be a relic from the past rather than something which can be created anew in the here and now."—Mark E. Workman ("Introducing Folklore into the High School Curriculum")
