This is a tall tale about Blacks combatting racism with magic that begins in a town called Walkerton in Georgia. The town, later renamed Carrimebac, prospers after the arrival of old Rootilla Redgums and her 9-year-old grandson Julius Jefferson. But then the “Fearful Folks” - whites dressed in the garb of Klansmen - attack the Blacks. But with magic, the Blacks prevail. Sad that the only way to beat the Klan and racists is through magic… Acrylic paintings by John Holyfield are colorful and full of detail. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"The Civil War may be over, but times are not substantially improved for the freed Black citizens of Walkerton, Georgia, who are shunned by the white folks of the surrounding towns. One day, though, ol' Rootilla Redgums and her grandson, Julius Jefferson, arrive. Rootilla teaches the citizens of Walkerton how to make all sorts of beautiful things, and the white people can't get enough. But some aren't so happy. When a hooded mob threatens to burn down the town, Julius and Rootilla must work wonders to protect Walkerton and its people--even if it means moving heaven and earth itself"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
