Jan Harold Brunvand 
The Mexican Pet: More ‘New’ Urban Legends and Some Old Favorites 

‘A uniquely entertaining book: edifying scholarship, diverting social history.’—Elaine Kendall, Los Angeles Times

‘[The book] captures the spirit of convivial storytelling and even encourages the activity. . . . Many readers . . . will be gratified to know that Brunvand intends to continue this series of relaxed, unofficial excursions into popular legends. Admirers of curiosa and the psychology of crowds cannot afford to miss them.’ —Kirkus Reviews
