The MAGICAL World of Florence Harrison is a book of the Fairy illustrations made by the artist Florence Harrison. Many of these works of art come from her better known books "In The Fairy Ring" and "Elfin Song." Many others were found in increasingly scarce volumes of annuals, budgets, story collections from the early 20th Century. Descriptions are given of the magical beings known to the people of her time. This book is written to present the best examples (many of which are rarely seen) of Harrison's fairy art to new generations of those who still believe in magic.

The Paper Bag Principle: Class, Colorism, and Rumor in the Case of Black Washington, D.C. considers the function of oral history in shaping community dynamics among African American residents of the nation's capitol. The only attempt to document rumor and legends relating to complexion in black communities, The Paper Bag Principle looks at the divide that has existed between the black elite and the black "folk." The Paper Bag Principle focuses on three objectives: to record lore related to the "paper bag principle" (the set of attitudes that granted blacks with light skin higher status in black communities); to investigate the impact that this "principle" has had on the development of black community consciousness; and to link this material to power that results from proximity to whiteness. The Paper Bag Principle is sure to appeal to scholars and historians interested in African American studies, cultural studies, oral history, folklore, and ethnic and urban studies.
