Fools Frogs & Folktales: A Kaleidoscope of American Storytelling

$29.95

Another Turn of the Kaleidoscope. Before America was a headline, it was a story told at a table, a campfire, a train stop. A laugh-out-loud collection of classic American short stories from literary greats like Mark Twain, O. Henry, Jack London, and more. From tall tales to biting satire, these stories celebrate the charm and absurdity of life through the eyes of swindlers, dreamers, and lovable fools.
