在线阅读本书 Book Description Swamp Angel, a prodigious heroine who can disarm taunting men andmarauding bear alike, is the original creation of a talented newwriter whose tall-tale text unfolds in a crackling combination ofirony, exaggeration, and sheer good humor. Caldecott Medallist PaulO. Zelinsky, working in an American primitive style on cherry andmaple veneers, brings his matchless wit and whimsy to thesecharacters of extraordinary dimension. Drawing us into theluxuriant beauty of the American wilderness, his paintings flowwith rhythm, deft expression, and a sense of monumental motion thatbefits a heroine who can wield a tornado like a lasso and drink alake dry. From the Great Smoky Mountains to the starry heavensabove, Swamp Angel and Thundering Tarnation leave their indelibleimpressions on land and sky. So too will this book hold readerswith its bold, expansive image-making--grandly demonstrating theflamboyant vigor and winking humor by which the tall-tale traditionendures. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
