Beautifully illustrated.
The author retells a story from her childhood that was told by her master storyteller grandfather in the rich and colorful dialect of the rural South. "Did I ever tell you 'bout the time lil' Flossie Finley came out the Piney Woods heeling a fox?"
This is a sly tale, richly evoked by both Isadora's lavish paintings and the storyteller's dialect.
