We see a lot of different types of
books and sometimes one just strikes our fancy. This little
vintage gem is homegrown. Published by John
F. Blair out of neighboring Winston-Salem, NC in 1956 and written by
Durham, NC native Burke
Davis. Illustrated by painter and teacher John Opper of
Greensboro, NC. It is a southern spun tale about a vain little rabbit
named Roberta E. Lee. She is very determined to be the prettiest
creature of barefoot county and turns to a turtle inventor for some
unexpected help. Not to ruin the story for ya'll, but she does not
get exactly what she was lookin' for. However, she does end up
finding a little bit of peace and happiness in the end. This tall
tale explains how rabbits got their short tails, long ears and legs.
It is a very special treat. This particular item is extra special
because it is personally inscribed by the author to his childhood
librarian. Check our online storefronts or email for its availability
and a detailed description.
Ya'll come back now, ya hear!
