Description
The Bird Man & other stories
Illustrated by Jennie Jones Branham
It’s 1913, long before radios, television, and computers. Even telephones and automobiles are rare in the small mountain town of Claggett Cove, where Lanky lives with his widowed mother. Lanky’s adventures always seem to happen when he tries to help somebody in trouble or when he gets a well-intentioned idea to make some situation better. And then … wham! Things go horribly wrong.
But with his clever, quirky, and often humorous way of looking at things, Lanky saves the day–often with the support or assistance of some of the most fascinating characters in children’s literature–the neighbors and friends who populate Claggett Cove or stop by for a visit.
Lanky Tales are funny, thoughtful, and timeless and are designed for boys and girls who are in the “tween years” (9-12), but are fun for all the family.
