Forty-nine traditional tales fill this book, reflecting Florida's multicultural heritage. The tales come from a wide variety of sources with many drawn from the WPA materials in Florida's Department of State archives. The book is divided into five sections: "How Things Came to Be the Way They Are," "People with Special Powers," "Food, Friends and Family," "Unusual Places, Spaces, and Events," and "Ghosts and the Supernatural." Uncle Monday is elegantly illustrated with pen and ink drawings by Kitty Kitson Petterson. Written for adults, children, and folklorists.
