In this galloping romp, the inhabitants of the small Southwestern mountain town of Stickitville are a rambunctious and frisky bunch of folks who put a lot of energy into organizing then participating in their two big annual celebrations, the Yucca Days Festival and the Rowdy Rodeo Days Extravaganza. Join the author as he playfully leads the reader through a series of silly shenanigans involving a cast of assorted nutbars and zany individuals, often under the magical influence of "sparkling yucca dust." Along his winding and humorous way, Richard Wyly sprinkles his stories with comedic detours into the clothing industry and includes affectionate references to old Western movies and their lead stars and character actors. This chronicle of amusing and outrageous events is sure to tickle a funny bone or two. (Just ask Maynard.)
Autorenporträt
Richard Wyly has enjoyed entertaining others ever since he was about two years old, when he began belting out classic American folk songs while taking center stage on the family coffee table. He grew up in Roswell, New Mexico, spending much of his childhood on the farms and ranches of relatives. His extensive background in the apparel industry dates back to when he began working for his parents in their children's clothing business at age 10. He went on to become the co-owner, with his brother, Victor, of a menswear store and ski shop and later a sales rep for clothing manufacturers in California and other Western states. Richard fondly remembers when Saturday matinées cost a quarter, and he has been a lifelong fan of old Western movies and their stars. A former vintage car racer, motorcycle enthusiast and marathon runner, he currently lives in Canmore, Alberta, in the Canadian Rockies. Watch for future Tales of Wonder titles.
