Description
Defines and surveys the world of college and university folklore and discusses the place of campus lore and legend in popular culture.

Reviews:
-[I]mmensely readable and chock full of ghostly college legends and tales, as well as discussions about their origins and deeper meanings....We need to hear them, we need to tell them. And in doing so we enact an ancient ritual, as deep as a religious ceremony, that has a strange way of simultaneously spooking and comforting us. —Binghamton Press & Sun-Bulletin
-Students have told stories about their daily university lives and often created legends surrounding campus experiences: unique and intriguing is Campus Legends: A Handbook, which surveys legends ranging from pure fantasy to theories of professor relationships, pranks, rituals and other folklore. While it may prove an unusual handbook for the general collection, any college-level collection strong in folktales will find it refreshingly different and worthy of acquisition. —Midwest Book Review/MBR Bookwatch & California Bookwatch
