Tall tales; legends of folk heroes; and trickster, ghost, and creation stories are gathered together in this collection of tales from six major regions of the United States. DeSpain's well-crafted retellings will inspire teachers and storytellers. The appended notes tell where DeSpain first heard each tale and give written sources. Scratchboard illustrations accompany the text.
