Description
A Good and Faithful Friend & other stories
Illustrated by Jane Snyder.
Catching a rabbit thief, performing in Shakespeare’s Macbeth, seeing the local preacher chased through a field by an angry bull … once again Lanky Lonagan finds himself in trouble, causing trouble, and helping others get out of trouble.
In this third volume of Lanky Tales, the foolish and the profound work side by side to help thirteen-year-old Lanky discover and develop strong personal ethics and find ways to live his values in everyday situations — just as people do in real life.
In the title story, true friendship is explored and rewarded: the friendship between Lanky and an old hermit, the loyalty of a dog for its master, and the honor of a man who took the blame for something he did not do, in order to save his friend from shame. And when a massive logjam causes a flood that threatens to swamp the village of Claggett Cove, Lanky finds himself in the familiar role of unwilling hero.
Lanky Tales are timeless, and the moral truths that infuse them help readers understand how important it is to learn the difference between right and wrong, and how simple it can be to make the right decisions … if we choose to do the right thing.
The books are aimed at young readers from eight to twelve, though the entire family will enjoy them. To have your copy personally autographed by C. Robert Jones, email pisgahpress@gmail.com. Learn more about the illustrator, artist Jane Snyder.
