Chronicles of the Outer Banks: Fish Tales and Salty Gales
Did you know that escapees from an escargot farm keep the snail police on their toes?
The Outer Banks has a long history of unconventional characters and curious occurrences. A larger-than-life likeness of Sir Walter Raleigh was once beheaded in Manteo, and the town gave itself a royal makeover in honor of a visit from a princess. The village of Corolla was integral to the early years of the Space Race. Local author Sarah Downing shares these and many more offbeat tales.

This book was a bunch of cute stories, some of which I've heard before. It wasn't bad. For those that have an interest in the Outer Banks and have vacationed there it was an interesting read.

It's ok, but the writing isn't particularly interesting, and the disjointed story format feels more like a bathroom reader full of articlesthan a non-fiction book.
