Synopsis
Odds Bodkin's story, based on folklore that Irish railroad workers brought to America, and Ted Rose's shimmering watercolors evoke the suspense and mystery of this otherworldly chase through the high Rocky Mountains. On a foggy night, spring floods swell the Colorado River. John Mercer, engineer of Train Number 1, and Mr. O'Reilly, his fireman, worry about crossing Gore Canyon where, twenty years before, the trestle washed out and an unlucky engineer drove his train over the edge. Is Gore Canyon Trestle still there? And can they-should they-try to outrun the Banshee?

Revue de presse
"A lively picture book set in 1929. . . . More suspenseful than scary, this title should appeal to kids who enjoy stories about trains and ghosts." School Library Journal

Hardcover. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. Ted Rose (illustrateur). 1st Edition. NEW, book SIGNED by the author in a fine price clipped jacket. Author signed this book very forcefully on the first free end paper. Signature left an indentation on the front paste down. The man must have been excited. This shivery tale is rooted in folklore that Irish railroad workers brought with them from Ireland in the mid to late 19th century. Odds Bodkin's masterly storytelling and Ted Rose's shimmering watercolors vividly evoke this other worldly chase through the high Rocky Mountains. Odds Bodkin is a professional Master Talesman who performs over two hundred tales, ranging from a four hour epic telling of Homer's Odyssey to fairy tales and fables for young children, in the bardic tradition with music and character voices. Ted Rose is old enough to remember steam locomotives in regular use. Fascinated by trains, he has traveled the country, piecing together the history implicit in the visual image of railroads, past and present, in the American landscape. Book is special and SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Signed by Author(s). N° de réf. du vendeur 001368
