American Tall Tales

Upstarts like Davy Crockett, giants like Paul Bunyan, and gentle souls like Johnny Appleseed are among the nine “tall” heroes featured in this exuberant collection of traditional American folk tales.

McCurdy’s intricate wood engravings set these larger-than-life folk on majestic landscapes brimming with energy, rich with wildlife and local color.

PlainTales Comments: Listeners who enjoyed the PlainTales titles Paul Bunyan and Other American Tall Tales should enjoy these excellent retellings as well. We took a slightly different approach and separated the purely fictional tall tales from the legends based on real people which we included in a separate collection.
