\u003cP\u003eThe storytelling tradition has long been an important piece of Kentucky history and culture. Folktales, legends, tall tales, and ghost stories hold a special place in the imaginations of inventive storytellers and captive listeners. In \u003cI\u003eKentucky Folktales: Revealing Stories, Truths, and Outright Lies\u003c/I\u003e Kentucky storyteller Mary Hamilton narrates a range of stories with the voice and creativity only a master storyteller can evoke. Hamilton has perfected the art of entrancing an audience no matter the subject of her tales. \u003cI\u003eKentucky Folktales\u003c/I\u003e includes stories about Daniel Boone's ability to single-handedly kill a bear, a daughter who saves her father's land by outsmarting the king, and a girl who uses gingerbread to exact revenge on her evil stepmother, among many others. Hamilton ends each story with personal notes on important details of her storytelling craft, such as where she first heard the story, how it evolved through frequent re-tellings and reactions from audiences, and where the stories take place. Featuring tales and legends from all over the Bluegrass State, \u003cI\u003eKentucky Folktales\u003c/I\u003e captures the expression of Kentucky's storytelling tradition.\u003c/P\u003e |
