"The Myths and Fables of To-Day" by Samuel Adams Drake looks at old timey beliefs in a new way, arguing that people have always held onto superstitions. Drake explains how even in modern times, people are affected by handed-down mythology and traditions. He talks about how things like holiday celebrations and children's stories are actually examples of how myths stay alive and how humans are fascinated with the supernatural. His work encourages readers to reconsider the superstitions that they might not realize they still have.
