A Great Collection of North Carolina Stories,
This review is from: Blackbeard's Cup and Other Stories of the Outer Banks (Hardcover)
I found this selection of stories compiled and penned by Charles Harry Whedbee in this book entitled `Blackbeard's Cup and Stories of the Outer Banks' to be remarkable. They are short, but well written mysteries, anecdotes and tales about a facinating region of the country called the Outer Banks. This book is more than just another collection of stories about a region of the country, the author actually conveys some personal experiences in living in the region that merit some attention. I found the entire collection to be quite enjoyable, but particularly the stories entitled: `The Guns of Vandemere', `Sir William Shakespeare's Wreck' and most of all `Horace and the Coinjock Charade'. This last one about a mule named Horace literally had me laughing out loud, and was worth the entire book above all! You will enjoy this author's unique insight to the particular's about the region, as well as his attention to detail on the facts that really matter in telling a good story. I have read many collections of stories about North Carolina, particularly because I have a personal facination with the region, especially the Outer Banks, but this this collection is one of the better ones. This book also gives some intriguing history on the pirate Blackbeard. If you are looking to read a few good tales about this region, then this book would be a good one for you to start with as all of the stories are quite entertaining. This author has written five collections of North Carolina stories in all, so if you find you like this one, there are more to explore. Whedbee spins a great tale!

A great storyteller and a great book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Blackbeard's Cup and Other Stories of the Outer Banks (Hardcover)
I have loved the Outer Banks of North Carolina for some time now.Charles Harry Whedbee gives a well written account of some of the mysteries and legends surrounding the area in this, and all, his books.Basically, this book is just a collection of stories he has recovered from local people.I wish he still lived so he could share more of his love of North Carolina with fans.

Blackbeard's Cup & Stories of the Outer Banks,
By Tom (Virginia Beach, Virginia USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blackbeard's Cup and Other Stories of the Outer Banks (Hardcover)
Charles H. Whedbee really captures the spirit of good storytelling in this book. I really enjoy going to the Outer Banks, and his books create a romantic mood to the lore and legends of such a wonderful place. Any book by Mr. Whedbee is a book worth reading.
