"A sequel to the novel Ledoyt, Carol Emshwiller's Leaping Man Hill tells the story of Abel, an impish, mute child; of Mary Catherine, whose eccentricities trigger new spirit in him; and of Henny, a World War I veteran. These and other characters come to life amid Emshwiller's rich country landscape. With Leaping Man Hill Carol Emshwiller continues to breathe life into the American Western."--BOOK JACKET.
