Description
This collection of tales brings together some of Frank Dobie's most cherished writings, carefully curated by his former student Isabel Gaddis. The stories have been selected and reworked by Dobie himself for this anthology, accompanied by 32 original line drawings by Ben Carlton Mead.
The tales in this garland are rooted in the folklore and traditions of our land, yet remain remarkably relevant to contemporary life. They are arranged into thematic sections, each with a title that speaks for itself: "The Longhorn Breed", "Mustangs and Mustangers", "The Saga of the Saddle", and more.
Through these stories, Dobie shares his deep understanding of the American experience, revealing the enduring power of tradition and the human connection to the land. This anthology is a unique opportunity to explore the rich cultural heritage of our region through the words and images of one of its most beloved storytellers.
