Customer Reviews

Great Folklore Tales

My husband and I love the Outer Banks and have really enjoyed all of the books by Mr. Whedbee. While we do enjoy the stories, we are also learning a lot about the history of the area, and it is fascinating. These stories are good for all ages.

An Excellent Storyteller

Charles Harry Whedbee captures the attention of the reader in the very beginning of this book as any good storyteller can. From swashbuckling pirate tales of Blackbeard on Ocracoke Island to stories of lost loves or any Native American tales and legends on the Outer Banks, Mr. Whedbee does a spectacular job of pulling you out of the present day and time to the time of the story. It is my recommendation that if you love legends and ghost stories, you should get this book!
