- Synopsis
- The Gayest Book of 1961! When Seven Stars for Catfish Bend appeared after the widely acclaimed High Water at Catfish Bend it was greeted by excited reviewers as a new Alice in Wonderland, a new Wind In The Willows. Now Ben Lucien Burman has written a third story even more delightful in its fantasy and rich humorous imagination--The Owl Hoots Twice at Catfish Bend. Like Lewis Carroll's immortal classic, it is at once a genial satire on the absurdities of our time, a rich entertainment that keeps the reader chuckling with every paragraph, and a wonderful adventure story. It is the tale of a wolf in fox's clothing and of the terrible havoc he works when the innocent and peaceful animals of Catfish Bend, always ready to help a fellow creature, rescue him from his pursuers, and then listen to his evil advice. Here again is the famous Judge Black, the kindly, motto-quoting blacksnake, who is a vegetarian and is always trying to live down the snake family's bad name; here is the elderly frog who patiently conducts the young frogs of the Indian themselves in its magic and enchantment. The beguiling illustrations by Alice Caddy, the author's wife, are a perfect accompaniment to the charm of the story.
