Sims, Martha, and Stephens, Martine. 2011. Living Folklore, 2nd Edition: An Introduction to the Study of People and Their Traditions. Logan: Utah State University Press. Accessed December 6, 2023. ProQuest Ebook Central. In this chapter, Sims explains how interpreting folklore is not an exact science and there are many interpretations of folklore and folklore practice. These practices and traditions are reflections of a community and its history. While a folklore tradition or practice may be held in a large group, within that group are subgroups where the folklore can take on different meanings based on which aspects of the tradition or folklore are emphasized.
