The Downing Legends is a collection of four stories in rhyme - The Witch of Shiloh, The Last of the Wampanoags, The Gentle Earl, and The Enchanted Voyage - written by John William DeForest and originally published in 1901. Each story is a unique tale filled with adventure, magic, and mystery. The Witch of Shiloh follows the story of a young girl who encounters a witch in the woods and must use her wits to outsmart her.

The Gentle Earl is a romantic tale of a nobleman who falls in love with a peasant girl and must choose between his duty and his heart.
