My Favorite Things About Angelfire
THE ROBBER BRIDEGROOM
Legendary figures of Mississippi's colorful past-keel-boatman Mike Fink and the dread Harp brothers - along with characters from Eudora Welty's own delightful imagination people this rollicking fantasy set along the Natchez Trace.Berry-stained bandit Jamie Lockhart steals pioneer wilderness planter Clement Musgrove's beautiful daughter,Rosamond,away from a home dominated by his ugly,evil second wife,Salome.These and other characters are gathered together in a tale at once acid and gentle,wise and lighthearted,woven as much from the rough homespun of America history as the gossamer threat of fairy stores.
