About this audiobook
This is a collection of folk and fairy tales, in American settings. Many of the stories are variations on traditional tales out of Europe. Others are distinctly American. Some are humorous, like the tale of the man who builds a hen-house from a small stick swollen by rattlesnake venom. Some are serious; some are downright creepy, but all are entertaining.
