- Synopsis
- Maine folklore is rich in tales of humans confronted by strange beasts, both wonderful and terrifying. The Abenaki, or &“First People&” had their tales of Glooskap and Pamola. Other tales came with European settlers; and others sprang up almost out of nothing around the fires of the logging camps.Based on meticulous research into these legends and folk tales, this volume is an encyclopedia, a field guide to the creatures that can be found in Maine and beyond. While the tales are whimsical and fun, they can also be considered serious scholarship.
