When one bearded, old reprobate decided to open a window of Montville’s humorous and quirky past, he went diving into the archives and came up with 50 plus tales. Then he thought a couple of cartoons could add a bit of colour so he approached Jim Cox, another bearded, old reprobate who with pen, ink and colour brought many of these tales to life.
Tall Tales and True - Maybe is a must-have Christmas purchase. Give the gift of laughter and share the fun when you dive into the trials, tribulations and escapades of past Blackall Range locals. There’s even a bit of real history.
The quirky humour of Jim’s illustrations will tickle the funny bone, while the tales themselves seem almost unbelievable.
Books are available from the Montville History Group – contact montvillehistorygroup1@gmail.com, Jim and Pam’s Montville Studio, the Montville Post Office and the Montville Markets. At $20, it is a bargain for anyone with a sense of humour and a taste for a lighter side of our local history.
Merry Christmas from the Montville History Group and the Flying Porky Studio.
