With a common background in England and America for life in a small community, we have kept alive many old tales, songs, sayings, and superstitions, which have always had a sort of fascination for us even though, when quoting some belief, we often qualified it with the remark, 'Of course, I don't believe that sort of thing.'--from \u003ci\u003eLore of an Adirondack County\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCollecting songs, stories, and sayings passed down in her family--and in those of their friends and neighbors in Essex County, New York--Edith E.
