Description
FranklandWith his offbeat sense of humor and down home Southern sensibility, James Whorton has been compared to luminaries such as John Kennedy Toole and Carson McCullers. He sharpens his cutting wit to a keen edge in Frankland, following the misadventures of a wannabe academic who goes hunting for a secret history and gets much more than he bargained for. John Tolley is a bumbling college dropout who yearns to become a bowtie wearing, pipe smoking historian.
With his offbeat sense of humor and down-home Southern sensibility, James Whorton has been compared to luminaries such as John Kennedy Toole and Carson McCullers. He sharpens his cutting wit to a keen edge in Frankland, following the misadventures of a wannabe academic who goes hunting for a secret history and gets much more than he bargained for. John Tolley is a bumbling college dropout who yearns to become a bowtie-wearing, pipe-smoking historian. When he hears that Andrew Johnson's lost papers may have been preserved by an heir in Tennessee, he grabs his tweed jacket and heads south, convinced that he'll discover the key to a groundbreaking biography on the seventeenth U.S. president and the start of a respectable career. But things start to go awry when his car breaks down in the town of Pantherville, Tennessee. Tolley rents a decrepit shack owned by a neurotic ex-con and is soon sucked into a world of cockfights, coon dogs, and the politics of Pantherville's good old boys. Surrounded by folks as eccentric as he is, including an alluringly shy mail carrier named Dweena, Tolley starts to feel at home -- even if his quest for academic glory might just prove to be a wild goose chase. Native and newcomer, highbrow and hillbilly cross paths and tangle hilariously in this wry and ribald tale.Binding Type: Paperback

This was PERFECT for our son's Candy Cane Day at school. It fit well and was well made. It fit him TTS and was soft to the touch. The colors were vibrant and the style was classic. This was a solid purchase that was well priced and just what we needed!

Such a cute shirt
Size: 3, Color: Multicolor - Long Sleeve
Amazing shirt honestly such good quality. Got it for my 2yo's Halloween costume but he wears it on the daily and it's held up quite well. The colors are bright and don't bleed in the wash.

Perfect Pugsley Shirt!!!
Size: 6, Color: Black and White - Short Sleeve, Size: 6, Color: Black and White - Short Sleeve
I am that mom that makes her family dress up as a group for Halloween. I let my kids pick their own outfits for school/day, but at night we dress up as a family. Every year I pick a different group outfit, this year it's Adam's Family.
My son is 4 years old and in a 5T (he's big for his age). I would say the shirt fits like a 5-6 but may be snug if your little one is on the verge of size 7. I decided to size up since there wasn't a 5T option and glad I did!
The material isn't thick but not super thin either, the thickness of a standard cotton tee. The white stripes are not see through. The shirt is a perfect match for the Pugsley costume. I'm so glad i purchased this vs the entire costume since my son has black shorts. My son said it was comfortable.
