About 8 or 10 years ago I read a Traditional British Mystery that I would like to find again. In the story an American anthropologist came to the village to collect folklore. To tease him, a pair of the locals invented "lore" like, "Hey diddum daddum dee, Down to sacrifice goes we." Of course there were murders and such mixed in. Can someone on the net identify the author or title? I hope it's as funny as I remember. Also - could someone please tell me which dictionary (and which edition) has the appendix with Indo-European roots? I know this was discussed on the net before, but I've lost the reference.

I find this subject (and ideas found in these books) fascinating. Anyone out there who'se read 'em, and would care to comment? --------------------------------------------------------
