The Legend of the Jersey Devil | Trinka Hakes Noble

1 post | 2 read

The Pine Barrens region in New Jersey has long been a place of mystery, with its dark pine groves, black swamps, and dank bogs, oftentimes shrouded in mist and fog. Reputed to be haunted by spirits, it’s an unsettling place to be sure. But of all the mysterious happenings and sights to be found in the Pine Barrens, there is none so intriguing as the Jersey Devil. Since its first reported sighting in 1735, local lore has it that a “devil-like” creature with the head of a horse, the wings of a bat, and the hooves of a goat has menaced townspeople, frightened livestock, and caused all manner of trouble over the years. Is the Jersey Devil real? Award-winning author Trinka Hakes Noble weaves a spellbinding tale about the origins of the legend of the Jersey Devil. Atmospheric illustrations by artist Gerald Kelley bring the tale to spooky life.

The Legend of the Jersey Devil | Trinka Hakes Noble

An immensely engaging picture-book retelling of the legend of the Jersey Devil, a mysterious and threatening creature said to haunt the Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey. I found Noble's narrative engrossing, and the accompanying artwork from Kelley deliciously spooky. This is one I would recommend, both to young folklore enthusiasts, and to picture-book readers looking for spooky, atmospheric stories.
