Reviews

This book, a veritable treasure trove of material, as gifted us an enriched understanding and awakening regarding all aspects of children's play and play lore. I have no doubt that it will stimulate further research and debate within folkloric, ethnographic, educational, anthropological, and ethnomusicological communities, all of which have increased in significance in an era of advanced technology. - Maire Ni Bhaoill, Folk Music Journal
