Maine folklore is rich in tales of humans confronted by strange beasts, both wonderfuland terrifying. The Abenaki, or "First People" had their tales of Glooskap and Pamola.Other tales came with European settlers; and others sprang up almost out of nothingaround the fires of the logging camps.Based on meticulous research into these tales, this volume is an encyclopedia, a fieldguide to the creatures that can be found in Maine and beyond. While the tales arewhimsical and fun, they can also be considered as serious scholarship. The entries havebeen peer reviewed by notable experts in the fields of folklore, anthropology, Nativestudies, and cryptozoology.
