Title: Swamp Angel
Author: Anne Isaacs
Illustrator: Paul O. Zellinsky
Publisher: Dutton Children's Books
Date: 1994
Age Range: All
Summary: Along with other amazing feats, Angelica Longrider, also known as Swamp Angel, wrestles a huge bear, known as Thundering Tarnation, to save the winter supplies of the settlers in Tennessee.
Strengths:
This is a very nice and original traditional folktale. It's an excellent example of a tall tale (both in the exaggeration and in the height of Swamp Angel) The illustrations are beautiful and really help the story be told.
Concerns:
Nothing really.
