Everything is bigger in Texas . . .

including the myths and legends. In this engaging folklore collection, award-winning storyteller Donna Ingham introduces you to the larger-than-life characters who help define the Lone Star State. Meet Pecos Bill, who used a rattlesnake as a rope; Mollie Bailey, a circus pioneer and Civil War spy; Bigfoot Wallace, a retired lawman who called his rifle Sweet Lips; and others whose lives are a fascinating mix of fact and fiction.

Ingham also recasts myths from other cultures, giving them the Texas twist that only a native could (did you know that Cupid was a mama's boy?), and shares some of the original tales that earned her the title of Biggest Liar in Austin three years running.

Complemented by Paul G. Hoffman's inspired illustrations, these stories are sure to entertain readers of all ages.
