Larger Than Life
July 22, 2023
The tall tales of Pecos Bill, Paul Bunyan, Johnny Appleseed, Captain Stormalong, and more come to life- larger than life- in this celebration of Americana folklore! Journey across the Atlantic Ocean, the forests of New England, and the uncharted plains of the wild, wild West with these legendary heroes. You’ll find that no matter how tall or small, a hero is only as big as his heart.
