Tryon</div><BR><BR> Like its predecessor, <I>Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods</I>, Henry H. Tryon's <I>Fearsome Critters</I> is an unique perspective from yesterday's woodsman. The author contradicts are ability to tell fact from fiction, in favor of the fantastic world as early woodsman envisioned it to be. It is a no-man's land of terrifying beasts and utterly fantastic creatures as told from one best able to report the  facts. <BR><BR> <I>SEE!</I> The terrifying apperance of the <B>BLACK HODAG</B>! <BR> <I>HEAR!</I> The alarming cry of the <B>TREE SQUEAK</B>! <BR> <I>THRILL!</I> At the savage and merciless attack of the <B>HIDEBEHIND</B>! <BR> <I>ESCAPE!</I> The bone-craking bite of the <B>LUFERLANG</B>! <BR><BR> And <I>SUSPEND YOUR DISBELIEF</I> as you encounter the likes of the: SNIPE, GUMBEROO, DINGMAUL, AXE-HANDLE HOUND, RUMPTIFUSEL and many more! </span> </td></tr></table> </td> <!-- *** TEXT *** --> <TD align="center"> <table height=571 width=425 bgcolor="#bdb76b" border=3><td align="center"><font color="maroon"><B><font size="6">F<font size="5"> E A R S O M E &nbsp&nbsp</font>C<font size="5"> R I T T E R S </font></font> <BR> <BR><font color="#101010"><B>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b><BR> <B><A HREF="entitle.htm"><IMG SRC="images/hodagcover.png" width="400" height="200" border=0 alt="Splinter Cat Cover" align=center></A><BR><B>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></font><BR><B><font size=2> ( 70<SUP>th</SUP><font color="gold"> </font>A<font size="-2"> N N I V E R S A R Y &nbsp&nbsp</font>O<font size="-2"> N L I N E &nbsp&nbsp</font>E<font size="-2"> D I T I O N </font>)</b></FONT><BR><BR><BR><font size="4">H E N R Y &nbsp H.&nbsp T R Y O N </font><font size="2"><BR><BR></font><font size="3">Illustrated by Margaret Ramsay Tryon </b></font> </td></tr></table> </td> <!-- *** Ä% CELL 3 º% *** --> </table> </TD> <!-- *** º% CELL 4 *** --> </TD><TD WIDTH=100 valign="center"><center> <a href="entitle.htm"><font size="7">º%</font></A> <BR> <a href="index.htm" OnMouseOver="move_in('image2','images/lmbr2.png')" OnMouseOut="move_out('image2','images/lmbr1.png')"> <img src="images/lmbr1.png" border=0 hspace=0 alt="Move your mouse over here!" name="image2"> </a> </TD></TR> <center> </TD></TR> </table> <!-- *** Ä% ADVERTISEMENT º% *** --> <!-- *** ?
