The Child and Childhood in Folk-Thought
Alexander Francis Chamberlain
What have the world's peoples believed about children? Alexander Chamberlain gathers the folklore: the child's tribute to the mother, childhood in myth, proverb and custom across cultures, assembled with an anthropologist's patience. A vast, browsable treasury from the 1890s on how humanity has imagined its young. Folk wisdom about children, collected whole.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
