This book captures the essence of rustic folklore,
By
This review is from: South Mountain Magic: Tales of Old Maryland (Paperback)
I highly recommend this book to those who have an interest in folklore and legends, particularly to persons that live in the shadow of South Mountain itself. Being a resident of this area, and a descendant of folk who lived on the mountain itself, I have always been familiar with the tales and stories contained within this book, as they were told to me as "ghost stories" by my parents, grandparents, aunts, etc. Hardcover versions of this book are now out-of-print.I am very pleased that Lethe Press re-released this timeless book as an affordable paperback. If you have an interest in folklore, legends, ghosts, or the supernatural......then read this book. You may find the legends of this area, such as the Black Dog, very interesting.
