There Ain't No Such Animal
And Other East Texas Tales
by Bill Brett

Here are stories of justice as swift and sharp as a mule's kick, of epic brawls and the trials of courtship, of poachers, politicians, and preachers, of hogs and dogs and horse traders, of good neighboring and bad blood, of life and death and youth and age in southeast Texas as it was early in this century. Written with natural humor and the wisdom of the folk themselves, these tales will delight anyone with an interest in folk life or with the inclination to stop and "set a spell" and listen to a good yarn.

" . . . outstanding examples of the best in local lore."--Wichita Falls Times
