This book is a celebration of the voices that make up America. Ranging from Native American love stories to Davy Crockett's account of killing a bear with a knife, from Brer Rabbit's mischief to Johnny Appleseed's good deeds, from hilarious yarns about killer mosquitoes to eerie encounters with the devil, A Treasury of North American Folk Tales overflows with the bounty of American tradition.
