Synopsis: 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.
