American folktales + Christian expositions

The Legendary Casey Jones brings together many of Geoffrey Thomas’s short stories for the first time, each brimming with the big heartedness, warmth and homespun humour that he is known for.

Sweeping through southern deltas, western prairies and colonial outposts, Geoffrey Thomas introduces a host of extraordinary characters in his mesmerising tales of American heritage: blacksmiths, farmers, frontiersmen try to get by; a brave railroad engineer becomes a national hero; a Native American girl changes the course of history.

The stories included are:

1) Beware of the Words, Smiles and Frowns of Men

2) Brer Fox, Brer Rabbit and the Two Failures

3) The Battle of the Braggarts

4) Jonathan Chapman, Or As He Was Better Known, Johnny Appleseed

5) How a Peddler Learned About The Final Price Being Paid

6) The Hunted Goose

7) The Legendary Casey Jones

8) Fire, Fire, Fire!

9) The Remarkable Story of Pocahontas

10) The Robin and the Bear

Perfect for both Middle Grade and Young Adult readers and teeming with gospel truth and encouragement, Thomas’s stories are a delight. Ages 9-12
