Improbable Tales and Oddities From Arcadian Tales
Oddities span a well-housed Arkansas lady with thirteen hats from fourteen husbands, a two-tongued Yonkers child, a mastodon tusk discovery near Centerville, and a 76 year old Mrs Polly George shedding teeth twice more while hair regrows black. A mule accident on Tyrouza River leads to a fine, and a Masonry origin tale explains eavesdropper punishment.
