But I didn't. ( ) Angelica Longrider, a.k.a. Swamp Angel, is a larger than life heroine who saves her neighbors from an equally larger than life thief named Backward Bart and his unruly bunch of bandits. Throughout the folk tale, Angel takes part in building some of nature's most glorious sights like carving out the Grand Canyon, forming the buttes of Montana and creating Sawtooth Ridge. There is no shortage of outlandish characters and fantastical events. The fun illustrations and outrageousness of the tale will keep children riveted. Personally, I do not care much for folk tales. Beginning with Paul Bunyan when I was a kid, I subconsciously avoided folk tales after that. I enjoy a good story, but the cynic in me thinks that having such exaggerated events detract from the story. no reviews | add a review
