и должны быть навеяны легендой, остроумной (юмористической) или супергиперболической историей
либо: по мотивам
very tall tale - это литературная супергипербола (преупеличение), типа Гаргантюа и Пантагрюэль, Путешествия Гулливера и т.п.
Излюбленный приём Рабле — гротеск, гипербола («супергипербола», по выражению А.Дживелегова). http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Гаргантюа_и_Пантагрюэль#.D0.A1....

Я посмотрела в Мультитране, там tall tale переводится как "басня" и "небылица". Оба варианта, в зависимости от ситуации, конечно, могут подойти, но я не думаю, что в вашем контексте это имелось в виду.

Definitions of 'tell tale'
Wikipedia:
A tall tale is a story with unbelievable elements, related as if it were true and factual. Some such stories are exaggerations of actual events, for example fish stories ('the fish that got away') such as, "that fish was so big, why I tell ya', it nearly sank the boat when I pulled it in!" Other tall tales are completely fictional tales set in a familiar setting, such as the European countryside, the American Old West or the beginning of the Industrial Age.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tall_tale
Macmillan Dictionary:
tall tale = something that someone tells you that sounds so exciting, dangerous, unpleasant, etc. that you do not believe it is true. The British word is tall story
http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/american/tall-...
WordNet 3.0, other dictionaries:
tall tale = an improbable (unusual or incredible or fanciful) story
