The Frost Haint of 'possum Hollow and Other Tales

Please Feed the HoofengoofersOl' Mark Twain sure spun some mem'rble tales, and Walt Disney loved 'em all. Walt read everything from Twain he could get his hands on. This book ain't Twain, but it's the next best thing: a heap o' Ozark tales by a feller who writes jist like him.
Walt Disney grew up in Missouri, where many of the stories in this book by acclaimed author and showman Alan Lance Andersen are set. Whether deep in the myth-laden Ozarks or down home in the folksy farms and villages of the heartland, Andersen's characters embody the American spirit, with its tall tales, rock-ribbed values, and dreams for a better life.
From Frost Haints and Hoofengoofers to blacksmiths and outlaws, and even more fanciful Ozark denizens like feathered trolls and monstrous gowrows, these humorous tales, many told in dialect, will tickle your funny bone. Get a taste of the regional flavor that inspired Mark Twain and set loose the imagination of young Walt Disney.
