North Carolina is a place where history has been enriched by legends and folklore. The 48 colorful Tar Heel tales in this volume include such well-known stories as Virginia Dare and the White Doe and Old Dan Tucker and such lesser known yarns as The Portrait of Theodosia Burr and Bladenboro's Vamire Beast. Striking drawings by Bill Ballard, one for each tale, bring North Carolina's mythical past to life.
