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 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 as serious scholarship. The entries have
been peer reviewed by notable experts in the fields of folklore, anthropology, Native
studies, and cryptozoology.
Kids will love this hilarious fairy tale adventure packed with clever twists, familiar characters and page-turning fun.
