"Alligators in the sewers? A pet in the microwave? A tragic misunderstanding of the function of cruise control? No, it didn't really happen to your friend's sister's neighbor: It's an urban legend. And no matter how savvy you think you are, you are sure to find at least one story in this colossal collection you always believed and would have sworn was true."--BOOK JACKET.
"Jan Harold Brunvand has been collecting this modern folklore for over twenty years. In Too Good to Be True, he captures the best stories in their best retellings, along with their latest variations and examples of how the stories have changed as they move from person to person and place to place."--BOOK JACKET. "To help you find your favorite, Brunvand has arranged the tales thematically."--BOOK JACKET.
