Everything shifts in the Caucasus, blown by some of the strongest winds on earth. Even the ground moves, splintered by fault lines. In early Georgian myths, it is said that when the mountains were young, they had legs -- could walk from the edges of the oceans to the deserts, flirting with the low hills, shrouding them with soft clouds of love. But what about those aspects of life which remain relatively constant -- the traditional practices of the people, the practices that are reflected in their legends and their folklore? It is these constants that this book concentrates on accompanied with breathtaking images.

Did a shy country girl named Isabella Burt shapeshift into a beast and steal off into the night to sink fang and claw into unsuspecting bovines? With Burt more than one hundred years in the grave, the question lingers, along with a litany of unsettling Columbus lore. Author Faith Serafin is here to make sure these legends aren't altogether forgotten. There might even be profit in recollecting. Consider the lost gold of the Confederacy, once thought to be housed in what became Iron Bank Coffee. Take a step back and peer into the night sky with young Jimmy Carter to determine for yourself what strange light flashes above the tree line, and dare to parse fact from fiction with the legend of the Brickyard Road Witch. The stories here, multifold and confounding, test the limits of even the most skeptical.

Did you know that the Caucasus region is home to a variety of myths and legends, some ancient, some medieval, and all influenced in some way by interactions with outside cultures? The Caucasus Mountains straddle the isthmus between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea. The location of the Caucasus region has made it a crossroads for travelers, traders, and invaders from Europe, Asia, and the Middle East alike. Many of the languages spoken in the Caucasus are unique to the region, while others are related to Turkic and Indo-European languages. This region's myths and legends are not as well known to outsiders as the mythologies of places like ancient Greece or ancient Egypt. The Circassian and Armenian genocides took their toll, as did the Soviet occupation, the last of which purged much of the native culture. Nevertheless, much of the mythology and literature of the Caucasus still survives today. In this book, you will get a brief but captivating introduction to some of the fine tales created by the resilient people who call this part of the world their home. Here is just a small fraction of what you'll discover: Tales about the Circassian hero Sosruko and his friend, the blacksmith god Tlepsh How Tlepsh went looking for knowledge at the end of the world and met Lady Tree Just-so tales about the origins of earthquakes, thunder, and the Milky Way Influences from Persian literature on stories from Armenia and Georgia A fairy tale about a merciful exiled prince and his clever servant The adventures of the bold knights Avtandil and Tariel, both brave as lions and desperately in love with their fair ladies And so much more!
