Once Time

Take a hike with Jon Spelman through a world of tall tales, folk stories and the winding woods of the Appalachian storytelling tradition. Sit by the fire while overnight hikers Council Register and Route Hog tell Jon about such happenings as the fight between a frog and snake, a magical rabbit whistle, Polly the dancing witch, the mermaid in the cow pond, and how Jock the trickster fools his way into riches. Once Time is a story in 11 episodes full of tales a little too magic to be real and a little too real to be totally made up.
