Best of 2008 Picks -- Josepha Sherman

She said, 'Books--naw.' And she added upon our prompting her that she hadn't 'read one good book this year. Lots of blah stuff out there.'

Film: Hellboy II: The Golden Army --a terrific riff on more-or-less folklore worth seeing even if they didn't get everything right (i.e. no elves in Ireland--they're Scandinavian).

Joshepa notes that she 'edited the Encyclopedia of Storytelling, which is out from M.E. Sharpe, 3-vol set. Came out a month or two ago. And she has a a new folklore book coming out sometime next year, Folklore for Storytellers.'
