Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“American folk heroes of the nineteenth century spring to life in these splendidly retold sagas…Osborne’s reputation as a gifted raconteur is reaffirmed in this compendium, which retells the legends of familiar figures as well as lesser known personalities” —Publishers Weekly
“In this fine recording, Osborne has selected American greats and, from each body of adventure, timeless episodes. With his talent for regional accents, Scott Snively takes the listener directly to that part of the United States and creates vivid characters.” —AudioFile
“The rip-roaring action, broad humor, and colorful language of the convention are all here, but the violence is kept to a minimum and the laughs aren’t at anyone’s expense, except perhaps the subjects, who feel rather foolish on occasion…[A] superlative offering.” —School Library Journal
“[The] stories are thoroughly engaging. The exaggerated humor will have children eager to turn the pages for one more story.” —Children’s Literature
