I Was on the Wrong Bear Book of Tall Tales
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Young Adult. Folklore. Oral History. Edited by his friend Vaugh Ward, Harvey Carr's tales establish him as "the representative northern woodsman." Ranging from "Hello, I'm Harvey Carr" through "Real Bears and Not Real Bears" to "So Long, Etc." These short pieces are charming stories, deceptively sophisticated in their earthy simplicity. "If I'd kept on tellin' the truth, I'd never have gotten into these thing! You get in the right group and everyone adds something ... If people laugh, they're not mad, they're not cryin'. They're going to be feelin' better." (Introduction). An excellent book for children from eleven up, as well as anyone interested in the truth about the Adirondacks. Illustrations by Deborah Delaney.
