Book Description
Welcome to Tails from the Woods! This compilation of short stories is about one man's lifetime of experiences hunting and camping alone or with family and friends. These stories contain memories ranging from early childhood to late adulthood that land the author in many different predicaments from which lessons are learned through successes and failures. These lessons, combined with scriptures from the Bible, helped the author to better understand God's Word and His will for our lives. Some of these stories might help novice hunters increase their hunting skills. But most focus on the mistakes that come from inexperience or carelessness that can lead to hilarious and unwanted outcomes. Maybe you're a seasoned hunter. Maybe you are just starting your hunting career. Or maybe you just like to spend time in God's glorious creation. Hopefully, Rick Gordon's stories, combined with thought-provoking scripture, will bring a smile to your face and help you avoid pitfalls in the woods or in your walk with Christ and all His creation!

From his phenomenal collection of over 22,000 articles and stories of the Maine Woods, Steve Pinkham has selected many of the most exciting and old hunting and fishing tales, as well as stories of animal encounters, lumbering, canoe trips, and even a few ghost stories for this book. Ranging from 1849 to 1913, the book covers the Maine Woods from Magalloway to Moosehead, and Mopang to Madawaska. Most people know that Thoreau went to Maine several times, wrote eloquently about his travels and coined the phrase "Maine Woods." Now for the first time the reader will get to read stories by many of the other known and unknown men and women who also travelled to northern Maine and wrote about their experiences or penned fictional stories set in the backwoods. Included are brief biographies and portraits of the known writers. For the many anonymous authors, Pinkham has included appropriate pictures of the region where the story took place and other pertinent information from his vast sources. Visit the website at: www.oldtalesofthemainewoods.com Steve Pinkham grew up in western Maine, hearing old stories of hunting and fishing, and has spent much of his life hiking, paddling and discovering the many wonderful places in the backwoods of Maine. Having spent the past ten years searching for articles and books, following up on clues, and spending a vast amount of hours in libraries and historical societies, he published his first book, Mountains of Maine in 2009. Selecting from his vast collection for this book, he now spends his time writing and publishing articles and books about the Maine Woods from his home in Quincy, Massachusetts.

Congolese Stories
Author: Bertil Söderberg
Publisher: Firma Mats Soderberg Media
ISBN: 916371342X
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 76
Book Description
Congo’s folk tales are rich and diverse. Legends, myths, tales and fables have been passed on from generation to generation, and in some cases a tale or a fable has been shortened into a proverb with a vast cultural significance that varies depending on the storyteller’s depiction of it. From a single source that can be summed up in just a few words, the African storyteller relates human imperfection and morality, religious representations and the surrounding nature to his listeners. Children gather in a circle around the storyteller and as he talks of lifeless objects, such as a piece of pottery, or African animals as symbolic of people, everyone listens enthusiastically. He needn’t explain what a calabash is (the dried shell of a bottle gourd from the cucurbit vine). His listeners recognise the names of large trees as well as common animals that appear in the fables. To directly translate an African storyteller’s representation is nearly impossible since it would require too much detailed interpretation. Instead, I have tried to use the same method as African storytellers use. Beginning with a basic topic, I have attempted to explain Congo’s environment to Swedish children and hopefully to older readers as well. The material used in these tales comes from two spokesmen of today’s Congo-Brazzaville. The first, Monsieur N’Zaba Philippe, comes from the Babembe tribe. He has been the dedicated district leader for the mission area of Dolisie for many years. The second is Monsieur Pomo from the woodland inhabitants of Bambamba, a tribe attached to the Bakuta people. Some of the tales have been obtained from Congolese literature. Gothenburg 1964, Bertil Söderberg For Jan-Olov, Kerstin, Per and Mats
