A collection of tall tales based on stories from Every Tongue Got to Confess, collected by acclaimed anthropologist, folklorist, and novelist Zora Neale Hurston during her travels through 1930s rural south. Compiled and illustrated by Caldecott Honor artist Christopher Myers. Now in paperback. Back in the day, there were liars who could lie so good, you didn't even want to know the truth. And we have Zora Neale Hurston to thank for collecting their stories. In Lies and Other Tall Tales, Caldecott Honor and Coretta Scott King Honor artist Christopher Myers has created a visual treat that will tickle your funny bone. Myers' expressive collages are as bold and wild as the whoppers Hurston encountered on her travels through the Gulf States.
