Islesboro Taradiddles

Never before has Islesboro Island had its' own collection of tales and legends. Now you can read them here, for the very first time, in this unique collection, just as they were discovered in 1999, when a large and rickety wooden trunk bound with iron latches washed up on the shores of the rocky Islesboro town beach. Upon prying it open, it was found to contain a number of ancient leather bound tomes, all seriously waterlogged but nonetheless identifiable as old Islesboro ledgers, account books, and pocket diaries. One small journal, a diary firmly bound with thin leather straps, had a cover whose faded gold lettering said "Islesboro Taradiddles." This is the true story of that journal's contents, and only the facts have been made up. A miscellany of mischief, magic, marvels, and merriment, with more than thirty two tall tales, whoppers, apologues, songs, and stories unique to Islesboro.
