The Derby Ram: A Ballad
Rick Schreiter
Hardcover
(Doubleday, March 15, 1969)
The Derby Ram is a traditional tall tale English folk song that tells the story of a ram of gargantuan proportions and the difficulties involved in butchering, tanning, and otherwise processing its carcass. Here, Rick Schreiter has focused on the story teller and the less-than-welcome response to the story by the town folk. Illustrated by Schreiter. Unpaginated [36 pages]; color illustrations throughout; 8.75 x 11.25 inches.
