What critics around the world are saying about I'm Not Touching You!.../p> "Ich glaube Tristram ist der grossest dummkopf im die welt. Ein student? Nicht nein, porcupine! Er ist ser, ser schlecht. Wo is der Lehrer mit ein gross Stock? Sie mussen schlagen Tristram jeden tag."--Die Gross Zietung von Deutschland, Osterreich, und Schweiz "Tengo solamente una pregunta. Ensename: Como America es el unico 'superpower' del mundo con ninos como Tristram Hoosier? !Digame eso!"--El Periodico del America Central y de Sur "G'day, mate! I think Tristram Hoosier is a smashing lad, full of energy. Good on him! And anyone who says otherwise ... well, bugger 'em!"--Times Chronicle and Herald Tribune of Australia and New Zealand In Tristram Hoosier's third book about his family and growing up in Gary, Indiana, an uncle builds a mechanical spanking machine and plans to use Tristram as a guinea pig; Tristram's dad does battle with a crazed deer on a hunting trip; Tristram watches the magnificent rise and catastrophic fall of a neighborhood rock star; and Tristram overhears a family conspiracy against a jealous husband. I'm Not Touching You! shows that you can be tried, convicted, and sentenced ... even if you really weren't touching anyone.

Just Wait Until We Get Home!

By: Tristram Hoosier

What the critics are saying about Just Wait Until We Get Home: "It looks like a really great book...judging it by its cover. I haven't actually read it yet, but I hope to soon."--Boston Accent & Times Tribune "A subtle murder mystery with deep, complex characters and an interesting, involved subplot make this story a real suspense-filled page turner...or no, wait, hold the line a second, that's a different book entirely. Uhm, I believe we have some sort of mix up here. Sorry about that. Nevermind!"--Southern Drawl & Globe Gazette "The book Just Wait Until We Get Home! is an abomination. It is in no way representative of the people of the great Midwest, the heartland of our country. We are not all vandals and criminals. I think Tristram Hoosier should get a day job."--Midwestern Twang & Town Crier In Tristram Hoosier's second book about his family and growing up in Gary, Indiana, a neighbor's garage burns down, a grandmother reminisces about how Tristram's great-grandfather was arrested during Prohibition, an aunt makes a drug bust, a neighbor kid builds a real, working cannon in metal shop and a church bake sale turns into a disaster. Just Wait Until We Get Home! clearly illustrates that it's never too early to start procrastinating.

The British Traditional Ballad in North America

By: Tristram Potter Coffin,Roger deV. Renwick

Tristram Potter Coffin’s The British Traditional Ballad in North America, published in 1950, became recognized as the standard reference to the published material on the Child ballad in North America. Centering on the theme of story variation, the book examines ballad variation in general, treats the development of the traditional ballad into an art form, and provides a bibliographical guide to story variation as well as a general bibliography of titles referred to in the guide. Roger deV. Renwick’s supplement to The British Traditional Ballad in North America provides a thorough review of all sources of North American ballad materials published from 1963, the date of the last revision of the original volume, to 1977. The references, which include published text fragments and published title lists of items in archival collections, are arranged according to each ballad’s story variations. Textual and thematic comparisons among ballads in the British and American tradition are made throughout. In his introductory essay Renwick synthesizes the various theoretical approaches to the phenomenon of variation that have appeared in scholarly publications since 1963 and provides examples from texts referred to in the bibliographical guide itself. The supplement, like its parent work, is an invaluable reference tool for the study of variation in ballad form, content, and style. Together with the reprinted text of the 1963 edition, the supplement provides an exhaustive bibliography to the literature on the British traditional ballad in North America.
