Mrs. Parsley is a master story teller and this first collection shows that she always works hard to tell tales that are entertaining, informative, and a little off the beaten path. From alligators to ghosts, From bears to sprites. Like the Big Cypress Swamp itself, Mrs. Parsley reflects the wild and often unpredictable nature of the plants, animals, and other magical creatures that inhabit this hidden and often misunderstood world. Not your usual fairy tales, Mrs. Parsley's stories are meant to be shared with an audience who loves the unknown and the unheard of, the strange and the humorous.
