so-soThis book would serve much better as a reference book. I skimmed through a lot to find stories that were appealing. Still a lot of interesting stories of the earlier years of this part of the country.

pickI liked this old, black folk tale adapted for children from a series of oral folktales collected by Zora Neale Hurston. The illustrations are perfectly suited to the story. I would love to track down and listen to the original collected by Hurston.

An interesting book that draws heavily on the 1930s Virginia Writers Project. More than 500 stories were studied and a pattern of belief in witches played a role in the story. Hence, this fascinating book that delves into American Folklore.
🌒I've been intrigued from page one learning from stories how to become a witch, how witches work, how to counteract witchcraft, and witchcraft for money and mischief. It's a pretty neat glimpse into folklore
Here's a few books about signs, symbols, omens, and superstitions from the occult section of my writing reference bookshelves. I found it amusing that when I was adding books to my Goodreads shelves, the tagged book ended up being the 666th book I entered. If I were #superstitious, I'd probably be a bit freaked out. 🙀#SpookyOctober
Many of these are still on my #TBR list (including the tagged book). Not shown are several I have enjoyed; they're missing because my husband is reading them. We have a thing for #FablesandFolklore, fairy tales, myths and legends. #UncannyOctober
#fairytales #americanfolklore #mythsandlegends This book is beautifully illustrated, with depictions of characters spanning over 100 years, illustrations showing different interpretations. I've had this for over 10 years and love going through it at this time of year also great is The Penguin Dictionary of American Folklore 📚❤️
