The Owl Hoots Twice at Catfish Bend
by Ben Lucien BurmanThe 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.
