Synopsis
Six reworkings of Hurston's African-American folkloric tales shed the heavy dialect to become more accessible to children and modern readers. "Bill, the Talking Mule" features a rural farmer terrified beyond measure when his animals suddenly begin chatting with him. "Big Bad Sixteen" offers a man so formidable that he murders the devil himself, then can't get into heaven or hell because the denizens of each are too insecure to welcome him; he is transformed into a terrifying jack-o-lantern. Other tales involve a witch who slips out of her skin and the disconcerting talking skull of the title. Eerily evocative black-and-white paintings accompany the text.

Through Joyce Carol Thomas's carefully adapted text and Leonard Jenkins's arresting illustrations, the soulful, fanciful imaginations of ordinary folk will reach readers of all ages.
