The New Folklore: Lyrical Tales for Dreamers & Thinkers is a collection
of seven stories written by musician Teague Alexy and beautifully
illustrated by artists from across the country: The Wisdom of King Joe
Colli, Old Lady Truth, The New Tune of Elijah Swoon, Three Little Fish,
How Lefty Stepanovich Turned Water Into Wine, Teufelo's Tongue and Old
Rickety Bridge. Alexy's modern folktales are told in the tradition of
being nonsensical on the surface with strong underlying truths. Filled
with humor, lively characters, clever rhyme schemes and wordplay, The
New Folklore provides entertainment and deep insight for young and old.
Information on musical versions of these stories performed by Teague
Alexy & The Feelin Band (featuring Nicholas David) and information on
Teague's band Hobo Nephews of Uncle Frank is available
