(2) 4-6 Illustrated by James Ransome. Reneaux showcases the diversity of southern storytelling, both in origin (including Native American, Appalachian, and Creole tales) and type (from tall tale to trickster tale to ghost story to pourquoi tale), in these eight oft-told tales. The cultural speech patterns and distinct vocabulary give the tellings life. Ransome's generous watercolors, a combination of full-page spreads and vignettes, decorate but never overpower the tales. Bib., glos.
