From 1866 to 1878, former Rebel cavalry captain Gabriel Kings has been the bane of railroad barons and bankers from Wyoming to Texas. But now, after twelve years on the run, he and the gang of outlaws calling themselves the Avenging Angels of the Shenandoah are about to face the most serious threat of their long and infamous careers--a posse headed by two seasoned Texas Rangers and a pair of cagey Pinkerton detectives. Raising the stakes even higher, an old enemy has set his sights on Kings, and the woman Kings loves--spirited rancher's daughter Belle Jackson--is wearing thin for waiting on him. Can Kings make it through this last scrape in one piece, or has his time finally come?

A golf course isn't just for golfers. It's also home to Corvette T. Pinecone VII, the patriarch of a family of grey squirrels who have lived on the grounds of Royal Greendale (the Green) for generations. Each year as Spring rolls around, Corvette and his wife, Gertie, know that for this year's litter of babies, they only have a tight window of time in which to impart upon them the wisdom of life on the Green. In A Talk from the Green, we meet all sorts of creatures-from big to small, part-timers, migrators, dangers and friends, and most interesting-the world of the Whack. Whacks are creatures who are obsessed with the game they call golf, and struggle mightily to master the game they can never ever quite figure out. A beautifully illustrated bedtime story that will not only captivate little ones but also give a comical sting to golfers and their playing partners who will see themselves in this clever tale.
