Lore of the Great Turtle : Indian Legends of Mackinac Retold by Dirk Gringhuis
I absolutely loved this book, but I've always been interested in Native American lore and their way of life. I've been going to Mackinac since I was a kid, so this just sort of expanded on the knowledge I already learned whilst there. It's easy to read and understand and will be over quicker than you would probably like. A great read. 5 out of 5 stars.

Were-Wolves and Will-O-The-Wisps by Dirk Gringhuis
What a wonderful collection of stories! Some where kind of creepy and some were down right heartbreaking, while others left a smile on your face. I would recommend this book. I just wish I knew a bit more French so I could pronounce some of these names right :). 5 out of 5 stars.
