Most are familiar with "tall tales" and characters like Paul Bunyan and John Henry -- these are of course fairy tales as well, of a peculiarly American stamp. But just as Alice fell down the rabbit hole chasing after the White Rabbit, so were Dorothy and Toto carried from their Kansas farm by the Tornada. With stories ranging from "The King of the Polar Bears" to "The Capture of Father Time," this book is bound to please readers of all ages.
