The Tall Tale in American Folklore and Literature
Author: Carolyn Schmidt Brown
Publisher: Univ. of Tennessee Press
ISBN: 9780870496271
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
To Carolyn Brown s mind, the tall tale is not necessarily an account of the adventures of a larger-than-life hero, nor is it just a humorous first-person narrative exaggerated to outlandish proportions. It is as well an interaction between teller and audience a game played at the hazy border between the credible and the incredible, a challenge and an entertainment at the same time. The tall tale is also a social statement that identifies and binds a folk group by flaunting the peculiar knowledge and experiences of group members, and it is a tool for coping with a stressful or even chaotic world, for conquering life s problems by laughing at them.

Nautical Chronicles
Author: Captain Robert Brown
Publisher: Outskirts Press
ISBN: 9781432793500
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
Just the other morning, while reading Northeast Boating, I asked Louise what her three most memorable boating adventures have been. She immediately said her first was the sighting of the Statue of Liberty while coming down the East River; her second was our trip from Castine, Maine, through the Eggemoggin Reach, and her third was our bare boat charter out of Road Town, Tortolla, BVI to Anegada Island. It amazes me how she and I can have such different ideas. My most memorable voyages, to date, have been the Rogue Wave that broke over our bow on the way out of the river one day, the Assault on Hogg Island one night by Paul and me, and the day the dolphins traveled with us out beyond Cape Ann (discounting of course, our first trip to the red marker from Larrys Marina).
