Tales of Nonsense & Tomfoolery

Ten stories from Russia, Ethiopia, Switzerland, China, Norway, India, Finland, Sweden, and the United States. These folktales are among the most resilient stories passed down from one generation to another. This humorous collection of stories shares a sense of irony and the absurd. Storyteller, writer, and folklorist, Pleasant DeSpain uses his uncanny ear for stories to collect tales that transcend a place, time and culture to appeal to a broad audience of young readers.
