"Lich’s 125-page book . . . is a work of ‘lit crit,’ a sub-genre of literary biography. . . . Fred Gipson at Work is a solid piece of literary scholarship . . . another step toward greater understanding, and better recognition, of a deserving Texas writer."—Mike Cox, TexanaBooknews
Gipson is best remembered as a children's writer, particularly as the author of Old Yeller, the novel that sold three million copies and was made into a popular Disney film. Lich (regional studies, Baylor U.) offers a charming and insightful reading of Gipson's varied writings--essays, histories, biographies, novels, and children's stories--setting them in the context of region, culture, tradition, and Gipson's personal life.
