College. We all know what college is all about right? Either we have been there ourselves, or know people who have and heard their stories. Well, we were wrong! In Applied Mythology, Jody Lynn Nye shows us just what we missed because of all that studying we did and those frat and sorority parties we attended. Applied Mythology is an omnibus collection of Mythology 101, Mythology Abroad, and Higher Mythology. There are elves in the University Library! Also Leprechauns, sprites, and a few other things. Keith Doyle is a business major who still believes in myths and legends. Whenever he has to write a paper for a class he writes it on aliens and elves. Imagine his surprise and delight when he discovers the little people living in the sub-basement of the old library. Also, imagine his anger in realizing that they will be forced to leave when the library is torn down for the modernization of the campus. Finally, imagine his horror when he realizes just who has been leading this campaign for the modernization of the campus-him!
