Legendary Connecticut is a diverse and colorful collection of traditional tales, supernatural stories, anecdotes, and narratives from the Nutmeg state. These insightful tales reveal not only locally known legends, such as The Windham Frog Fight--which explains the use of the bullfrog on the official town seal, and the bronze frogs that adorn Willimantic's unique new bridge--but also the intriguing personalities behind the legends. Personal legends, narratives, and tales--all are fascinating, humorous, and rich with the lore of the land, spanning four centuries of Connecticut history. These stories will appeal to Connecticut natives, visitors and anyone interested in learning about the lore and legends of a time gone by.
