Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A Treasury of American Folklore, edited by B. A. Botkin, Foreword by Carl Sandburg. Wings Books, 1944. First edition, first printing with full number line. Book: Very Good; Binding is tight and sound. Boards show light edgewear only, with no fraying.… Text block exhibits edge toning consistent with age, while interior pages remain clean and unmarked. A slight S-shaped warp to the text block is present, typical of thicker wartime-era paper stock; binding remains secure and functional.Gilt/blue spine lettering strong and unfaded. Dust Jacket: Very Good. Original dust jacket is bright and well-preserved, showing only light edgewear and minor handling wear. No chips or tears. Not price-clipped.(see photos) A Treasury of American Folklore is a landmark anthology preserving the oral traditions, legends, ballads, tall tales, and regional storytelling of the United States. Edited by folklorist B. A. Botkin and introduced by Carl Sandburg, the volume captures the voices of America's diverse communities, blending humor, history, and cultural memory in a foundational reference work. Printing identification note: Wings Books editions do not use traditional number lines; this copy appears to be a mass-market hardcover reprint rather than the original 1948 Knopf first edition. Notable Features: Broad thematic coverage: ghost stories, witch tales, tall tales, ballads, pranks, animal stories, and frontier humor. Illustrated endpapers and decorative design typical of Wings Books editions. Popular general-interest folklore collection rather than an academic text.
