True Stories & Tall Tales

by 826michigan Youth Authors

Whether fact or fiction is more your thing, you'll surely be pleased either way. Just flip this book over to get to the other half! Featuring tall tales like "The Evil Girl Behind the Mirror" and stories straight out of reality like broken legs and flight delays.

— Simon Traub-Epstein, International Library of Young Authors

From the publisher: “[True Stories] INVOLVING MEMOIRS, AUTOBIOGRAPHIES, BIOGRAPHIES, HISTORIES REWRITTEN, & ANECDOTES OF THE SORT THAT MIGHT MAKE THE FACE GO HOT & COLD BECAUSE OF SOME UNDENIABLE CONNECTION TO A VERY DEAR MEMORY (THEREBY SERVING TO ILLUSTRATE A CONCEPT WHICH IS UNIVERSALLY BELIEVED TRUE).

[Tall Tales] INVOLVING WHOPPERS, STRETCHERS, LIES (WHITE -& BLACK), AND WRY OBSERVATIONS ON THE HUMAN CONDITION THAT ARE BASED, MORE OR LESS, ON REAL LIFE EVENTS, BUT HAVE, THROUGH A SERIES OF INNOVATIONS & EXAGGERATIONS, BECOME RIDICULOUSLY UNBELIEVABLE (YET STILL SOMEHOW PERTINENT).”
