{"product_id":"2940012593245","title":"Tales of Delight and Shame","description":"Humor? Satire? Vegetable?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere are 19 fun stories with a Southwestern\/Hispanic edge. The stories begin on the high seas with Christopher Columbus' true thoughts on his first voyage and end in space with the confrontation between the star vessel Vagacielos and a pinata-shaped space creature. In between are Pancho Villa's experiments in weather forecasting, Billy the Kid's unexpected visitation by La Llorona on the night of his death, the strange comic book character Gila Monster Man, the chronicle of Captain Miguel Casaba inside the human body, and the heretofore unknown dealings of the first Frankenstein of the Americas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJokes, puns, slapstick, satire, and parody abound in TALES OF DELIGHT AND SHAME, and there's enough Good Cheer to choke a grumpy horse. And when you get right down to it, isn't that all you really want?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTable of Contents:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFROM THE SECOND LOG OF CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS\u003cbr\u003eTHOSE IMAGINATIVE MEN ON HORSEBACK\u003cbr\u003eLA LLORONA AND THE KID\u003cbr\u003eTHE MAN WHO HATED EDISON\u003cbr\u003ePOOR PANCHO’S ALMANACK\u003cbr\u003eTHE CLAMS ARE COMING!\u003cbr\u003eRELEVANT DICHOS FOR THE AGES\u003cbr\u003eMUZAK IN TAOS\u003cbr\u003eTHE CARNIVOROUS CHILDREN OF SÁNCHEZ\u003cbr\u003eA SELF-ASSASSINATION\u003cbr\u003eBURNT LEAVES\u003cbr\u003eFRANKENSTEIN OF THE AMERICAS\u003cbr\u003eFANTASTIC VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PANCREAS\u003cbr\u003eGILA MONSTER MAN TO THE RESCUE\u003cbr\u003eTHE MYSTERIOUS CASE OF\u003cbr\u003eTHE PECOS VALLEY WERECHICKEN\u003cbr\u003eASTRONAUT\u003cbr\u003eTHE FINAL FRONTERA","brand":"Clyde James Aragon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069417963760,"sku":"2940012593245","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012593245_p0.jpg?v=1763570595","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012593245","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
