Swamp Angel can lasso a tornado, and drink an entire lake dry. She single-handedly defeats the fearsome bear known as Thundering Tarnation, wrestling him from the top of the Great Smoky Mountains to the bottom of a deep lake. Caldecott Medal-winning artist Paul O. Zelinsky's stunning folk-art paintings are the perfect match for the irony, exaggeration, and sheer good humor of this original tall tale set on the American frontier./font>
安杰莉卡·朗莱德出生时,还没有妈妈高,需要别人的帮助才能爬到树上。她刚满两周岁,就建造了第一座小木屋。长大以后,以“沼泽天使”而闻名的她,可以抓住龙卷风,喝干整个一湖的水。她独自一人拯救移居者,以摆脱恶名远扬的“雷鸣坏蛋”这头可怕的熊,她和它从大烟山的山顶一直搏斗到深深的湖底。
