S4:E1 - Glenn McCarty & 'The Song of the Stone Tiger'

Rachel S. Donahue interviews Glenn McCarty (creator of The Song of the Stone Tiger and the Tumbleweed Thompson books) about his love of children’s literature and the origins of his newest book set in the mysterious mountains of western North Carolina. His book will be released at the one-year mark of the devastation of Hurricane Helene in those same mountains, and so it is important to us to highlight the magic of the region as it rebuilds!Mentioned in this episode:* Glenn McCarty* The Song of the Stone Tiger* The Tumbleweed Thompson Adventures & the Dead-Eye Dan Tales* Story Warren* Jeremy Casella - Death in Reverse albumAlso mentioned in this episode:* Robert McClosky - Centerburg Tales* Beverly Cleary - Henry Huggins & Henry and Ribsy* Beverly Cleary - The Mouse and the Motorcycle* Carolyn Leiloglou* James Witmer* SD Smith* Don Pape* Jane Yolen* Loren Warnemuende - Daughter of Arden Trilogy* Gary D.
