During this harrowing tale, an old man living deep in the woods encounters a creature, chops off it's tail and eats it. . .but the creature returns to reclaim its property.It's considered a children's story, but be warned, it's can be a bit scary for some youths with more sensitive imaginations. You be the judge.Most scholars consider the tailypo story to be a folktale, that is, it's assumed to just be a story. The author of Teh-Li Po: An Appalachian Legend, however, imparts a sense of realism which leaves the reader wondering whether the story is purely a fictional folktale. . .or is it rather, a legend, in fact -- based on actual events passed down verbally through the years.Our author contends Native Americans of the Creek Nation in mid-Appalachia had an actual name for this creature: Teh-Li Po. Did a pioneer actually encounter this creature as populations spread west, encroaching further into the deep woods?B.M. Jones has coined this English spelling of Teh-Li Po, written this most recent account, and breathed new life into the beloved tailypo story. Enjoy the reading for yourself, share it with your children and pass it down as it was passed down to you.Make your own decision. Simple folktale? ...or, an Appalachian Legend?
