Lyons, Mary E.

Illustrated by
Terry Widener.
Lyons calls this a "souped-up version" of a Zora Neale Hurston story about a master auto mechanic who sells his flying motorcar to God--the streamlined, skewed illustrations suit both the outrageous tale and the 1930s snappy modernism. But in expanding the story, Lyons muddles the story line. The spirit, if not the story, is intact.
