Tall Tales are two collections of interactive photo-poetry-prose bound in one volume. Each collection features twenty individual fables. Each photo-inspired poem is accompanied by a blank page, inviting the reader to reflect, spin their own tale—scrapbook style. True to the age-old tradition of storytelling, a tale only gets better over time as it is told, retold, and embellished. Where did the tales come from? Growing up, woodlands were my playground, and they have always held a sense of enchantment. To me, the trees never felt lifeless or static but were rather the beholders of history—fact and legend. To this day, my inner child loves to listen to the whispered tales told by rustling leaves and swaying branches. The unique markings of their bark and the particular features of their windblown shapes add to the sense of aliveness they are exuding. The entire creation of this book—process and content as well as layout—came about in an inspired and inspiring journey. As I’ve noted in the introduction, found in the center page, the book was writing me rather than the other way around. True to form of all my creative expression, I never quite know where my adventure will take me. I’ve come to appreciate the unfolding of each step, realizing my job is to allow, to observe, to witness, to discover, and to document what reveals itself to me. It is my sincere wish that the reader will enjoy their journey of discovery as much as I have mine.

This is a book of fiction written in verse, a book that contains interesting short tales and other writings that are told in a simple and light style. The tales include titles such as The Strange Disease, The Kleptomaniac, The Haunting etc. The writings in verse talk of clouds, incense, deserts, roads, paintings and suchlike, and weave them into stories, in poems such as Lies, Deja Vu etc. In all, this book is a journey through a world that it builds unto itself, a collection that takes you on a roller-coaster of old fashioned entertainment, through musings and stories and tall tales, with rhyme, rhythm, reason and style. Though bound between the covers of a poetry book, this one doesn't really fall into any specific literary category. It is meant to speak to everyone and meant to regale everyone, in all situations.

A fascinating survey of the entire history of tall tales, folklore, and mythology in the United States from earliest times to the present, including stories and myths from the modern era that have become an essential part of contemporary popular culture. Folklore has been a part of American culture for as long as humans have inhabited North America, and increasingly formed an intrinsic part of American culture as diverse peoples from Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania arrived. In modern times, folklore and tall tales experienced a rejuvenation with the emergence of urban legends and the growing popularity of science fiction and conspiracy theories, with mass media such as comic books, television, and films contributing to the retelling of old myths. This multi-volume encyclopedia will teach readers the central myths and legends that have formed American culture since its earliest years of settlement. Its entries provide a fascinating glimpse into the collective American imagination over the past 400 years through the stories that have shaped it. Organized alphabetically, the coverage includes Native American creation myths, "tall tales" like George Washington chopping down his father's cherry tree and the adventures of "King of the Wild Frontier" Davy Crockett, through to today's "urban myths." Each entry explains the myth or legend and its importance and provides detailed information about the people and events involved. Each entry also includes a short bibliography that will direct students or interested general readers toward other sources for further investigation. Special attention is paid to African American folklore, Asian American folklore, and the folklore of other traditions that are often overlooked or marginalized in other studies of the topic.
