Drawn from Florida history, folklore, and fiction, this collection of stories tailor-made for telling will entertain, inspire, and astound readers and listeners of all ages.

Cracker Jack is up to his old tricks: putting one over on his Yankee schoolteacher; confounding a census taker; and convincing a befuddled farmer that it's not Saturday but Sunday (and if the preacher finds him working on a Sunday, well, there'll be you-know-what to pay!).

Sheriff "Pogy" Bill Collins used to be the worst lawbreaker in Okeechobee City. Then he promised Judge Hancock that he'd walk the straight and narrow in return for his release from jail. Pogy Bill kept his promise to the judge . . . and then some.

In a place called Dogbone, it's really not that unusual to see a glow-in-the-dark man running naked after a driverless truck with two barking dogs in pursuit. It even made Ed Grady an honest-to-goodness churchgoer.
