The Offbeat Wonders of Maryland! }8#> (Goatman Smile)
This brought back many memories of my childhood when I grew up with some of the many urbans legends looked at in this entertaining volume! Inexplicably enduring figures as the Goat Man, the Bunny Man, and the Snallygaster are shown with such real life characters as Moll Dyer, persecuted as a witch and the notorious crime mistress Patty Cannon. One of the nice touches is the inclusion of current colorful characters in the state, such as horror show host Count Gore Devol and eccentric art entrepreneur Joe of Ocean Gallery in Ocean City. I won't go into any more detail because the sheer volume of surprises is worth many times the price! Initially, I was disappointed that precise locations of many of these wonders were not included but there are understandable reasons given for the omissions, but it can also be said that being easy to find would cheapen them. These wonderful secrets make me appreciate living in the Old Line State even more! There was so much more that could have been added that I could not give it a full five stars...but that is what future editions are for! I can't wait for the next one!
Interesting Book
The book was a gift for my husband. He enjoyed it so much that he lent it to our 21 year old son and his fiancee. They had a great time reading about the topics. They searched for things they knew about the state and sure enough, those stories were in the book. They learned a lot about their home state.
Good gift
Gave this as a gift to a very close friend. She loved it. Has lots of interesting little known facts about Maryland.
