    Swamp Angel has a reputation as the greatest woodswoman and wildest wildcat in all of Tennessee. But when she grows too big for that state, she moves to Montana, a place so sizeable, even Angel can fit in. It’s there that she wrestles a raging storm to the ground and, at its center, finds herself a sidekick—a horse she names Dust Devil. And when Backward Bart, the orneriest, ugliest outlaw ever known, starts terrorizing the prairie, seems like Angel and Dust Devil may be the only ones strong enough to stop him.

    Children will be captivated by the beauty and exaggerated humor of Paul Zelinsky’s American primitive–style paintings and the wit and energy of Anne Isaacs’s unparalleled storytelling. Here is an original folktale starring an extraordinary gal who is as feisty as she is funny and as courageous as she is kind.

    Ages 4 & up

    Once upon a summer in the Tennessee wilderness, there prowled a huge bear named Thundering Tarnation, whose prodigious appetite threatened to empty the settlers' storehouses, leaving them without food for the winter. Who could possibly stop him? Many tried, but none could beat that low-down pile of pelts. Enter Swamp Angel, the greatest woodswoman in Tennessee.

    When some men taunt her --"how about baking a pie, Angel?"-- '"I aim to," says she. "A bear pie."'

    The ensuing hilarious, outrageous struggle between girl and bear leaves lasting impressions on land and sky.

    So has this original tall-tale, winner of numerous awards, made its own lasting impressions on readers around the world.

    Ages 4 & up.
