Andrew Glass.
When Strap Buckner, whose "genius" is his ability to knock other folk down, challenges anyone--even the devil himself--to beat him, the devil accepts. Strap boasts that he needs help "from neither man nor Providence," and a ferocious battle rages. Lively watercolor crayon illustrations accompany this somewhat rambling tall tale set in the 1800s. A note about the real Buckner is included. Bib.
