Scholar, athlete, cowboy, logger naturalist, musician, inventor, race car driver, stunt pilot, animal psychologis... Grandpappy has done it all-though modesty sometimes compels him to add that he wasn't always successful. Nonetheless, here are five fabulous adventures of this indirect descendant of Baron Von Munchausen, narrated by Grandpappy himself and faithfully recorded by his dutiful if somewhat skeptical biographer, John Dashney.

   The Flying Snake: In which Grandpappy trains a squadron of flying snakes and thus precipitates a miniature war in the skies above the Windy River.

   The Popapple Caper: In which Grandpappy invents the world's first apple popper adn single=handedly wipes out the Greater Snodgrass County Fair as a result.

   Great Galloping Catfish!: In which Grandpappy, with the aid of the world's first racing hippopotamus, conducts the only known datfish roundup and trail drive in the history of the American West.

   The Skwookus & Humidaba: In which Grandpappy makes use of his knowledge of Greek mysth, basic chemistry and baseball psychology to overcome two incredible monsters.

   Old Fluffy: Ever heard of a tracker who could follow a cold sound? Well, Grandpappy's fabulous hunting rabbit could do just that! Whether it's an injured animal or neighbors in distress, Grandpappy and Old Fluffy are ready to ride to the rescue.
