| "Legends are...regarded as true by the narrator and his audience...Legends are often more secular than sacred, and their principal characters are human. They tell of migrations, wars and victories, deeds of past heroes, chiefs, and Kings..." From THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD by Donna Norton, PT J208.5 Norton. For more legends, see our Tall Tales, Native American Tales, and King Arthur lists.
