"I found the stories, legends and poems riveting and helpful for my own exploring. They range from the most simple to the most searching and profound questioning that I know of. Death is just about the most important thing any of us have to think about, and what could be more interesting than what peoples all over the planet have to say about the subject. You have done us a great service. This is the kind of book we want our friends to read so we can talk about it with them."

"Some Folk Say is a fascinating compendium of cross cultural fables which touch our deepest concerns about the unknown realms beyond this life. Often poignant and insightful, it is a great read."

"Thank you for bringing your very beautiful and moving book, Some Folk Say into the world. It is a book badly needed for us all and one which I'm sure will be of great comfort and inspiration to those who have experienced the death of someone close to them. In the deepest sense, it is a book affirming the role and meaning of death as part of our being alive, making ever more valuable each and every gesture of our lives."

"The stories are wonderfully selected and insightfully commented on, and your introduction is extremely well-written and engaging. Your remarks about the peculiar needs of our spiritually bereft culture are right on target. Your book, I trust, will add to our resources for dealing with this sister part of life itself, or as Francis of Assisi said, 'our Sister Death.'"
