		of Children's Books The Great Cavern of the Winds: Tales From Backbone Mountain Recently, deep within the caverns of Backbone Mountain, archeologists have found writings carved into cave walls, onto clay tablets and etched into limestone pillars. Several books of bark were discovered wrapped in deerskin and buried under flat rocks. Slowly these writings are being translated, and from them we learn of the "small folk", known as the Alyphanties, who inhabited the mountain long, long ago. The Great Cavern of the Winds: Tales From Backbone Mountain, written and illustrated by Denise Hillman Moynahan, is purely fictional. It is a mythological fantasy set in Garrett County in Western Maryland. Published by: Overmountain Press P.O.
