Abstract

Brian Sutton-Smith was not only a giant in the field of folklore studies and a pioneering scholar whose vision shaped the interdisciplinary study of play, but also an extremely kind, generous person who vividly remembered his own childhood in New Zealand through insightful works of fiction and vigorously defended children’s rights. His studies of the dynamics of play, games, storytelling, and other expressive forms have contributed immeasurably to the study of children’s folklore. As a scholar, colleague, and teacher, he has greatly enriched our field.
