The legendary Jack Crabb takes another riotous romp through the Old
West in an acclaimed novel that’s “impressive and delightful
. . . very Mark Twain” (Daily News, New York). Jack Crabb is now
112 years old, and he isn’t done spinning yarns. In this sequel to
Berger’s beloved novel Little Big Man, one of literature’s
wiliest survivors continues his breathtaking tall tales of the Old
West. Crabb claims to have witnessed most of the great historical
events of the western frontier: hiding behind a wagon after a drunken
Doc Holliday provokes the shootout at the OK Corral; joining Buffalo
Bill Cody and Annie Oakley on tour with their international Wild West
show; even taking tea with Queen Victoria when she came out of
seclusion after a quarter century. No matter where Crabb lays his hat,
he keeps his wizened, wry, and sharp commentary at the ready. The
Return of Little Big Man is a sidesplitting novel of surprising
emotional depth. This ebook features an all-new introduction by Thomas
Berger, as well as an illustrated biography of the author including
rare images and never-before-seen documents from his personal
collection.
