Mythical Creatures of Maine
Author: Christopher Packard
Publisher: Down East Books
ISBN: 1608937275
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
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.
