Untalented at riding, roping, and cracking a whip, Slim the cowboy calms a stampeding herd of cattle with his poetry.

Rhyming tale of Cowboy Gene and Cowgirl Sue, whose beloved cows get mixed up when a storm blows down the fence between their ranches.

Bill was just four years old when he fell from the family wagon near the Pecos River on the western frontier. Accidentally left behind by his family, he was raised by coyotes, and he didn't realize he was human until he was an adult. When he did, Pecos Bill returned to civilization and used the superhuman powers he'd developed during his peculiar upbringing to become the best cowboy in the West.

"Ranching is hard work, and it gets harder for Honey as he becomes foreman. There are cows and horses to feed and calves to be taken care of -- especially during the hard winter. And with Bud's illness everyone has to take on more work. From horse thieves to bears to poachers -- Honey has his hands full. But he keeps in mind the old saying ... things always work out the way they're supposed to. Not to mention the big day -- he and Sally get married!"--...

"Honey is busy doing the cowboy thing - breeding and branding cattle, horse training, and taking care of the dudes...that is, the ranch guests. Sally and Honey take over management of the ranch due to Bud's worsening condition and do a good job of booking guests for the summer and keeping the ranch running smoothly. Honey is growing up fast...and Sally has a big surprise for him!" -- Page [4] of cover.

Sent by his father to investigate evidence of a murderous shape shifter, a "skin man," Roland Deschain takes charge of Bill Streeter, a brave but terrified boy who is the sole surviving witness to the beast's most recent slaughter. Roland, himself only a teenager, calms the boy by reciting a story from the Magic Tales of the Eld that his mother used to read to him at bedtime, "The Wind through the Keyhole."

"Join Honey on his continuing adventures of becoming a cowboy. He finally graduates from high school ... 'I didn't graduate with honors, but it was an honor to graduate' ... and takes on more responsibility at his summer ranch job, continues his relationship with his girlfriend Sally, and has many surprises in store for him---some good and some not so good,"--back cover.
