Buster John, Sweetest Susan and Drusilla, visitors to Mr. Thimblefinger’s queer country in earlier books, discover that Aaron, son of Ben Ali, understands the speech of animals. Gristle the gray pony, Rambler the track dog and Grunter the white pig each tell their story. The book carries the plantation nostalgia and dialect of 1896 Georgia.
