Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Take a light-hearted dive into the wild, wonderful world of Mormon urban legends, faith-promoting rumors, and curious bits of folklore-some true, some questionable, and some too good not to repeat.

Did Elvis really read the Book of Mormon? Why are the Three Nephites always hitchhiking? Were there ever whales in the Great Salt Lake? Did Japanese bombers really have the Laie Hawaii Temple in their sights?

From strange sightings to legendary stories passed down in Sunday School, Mormon Myth-ellaneous gathers the most memorable tales and examines what's fact, what's fiction, and what falls somewhere in between. With contributions from researchers, historians, and storytellers, this collection explores the quirky side of Latter-day Saint culture-those stories you've always heard, always wondered about, and always secretly hoped were true.

A fun, clean, and entertaining look at Mormon folklore, perfect for anyone who enjoys LDS trivia, history, and humor.
