Flash-mob Cataloging Party: UIllinois prof's folktale collection

The final count was 1,413 books, which you can see in Dan's LibraryThing catalog here. Dan is also a LibraryThing author, with several folktale books of his own.

While getting my library science degree I took this class, and used books like these for finding stories to perform, as well as information about the history of various stories and storytelling. I'm happy students will have an even larger collection – as it turns out, finding stories you want to tell isn't as easy as you'd think.
Dan's guitar case now boasts a LibraryThing sticker. LibraryThing now boasts a new member with a large folktale collection. Students can now see the collection online. We all lived happily ever after.

Happily ever after, indeed. Glad to see LT pop up in my neck of the proverbial woods.
