Pecos Bill read by Robin Williams,is the great American tall tale about the brother of coyotes,creator of the Great Salt Lake and rider of cyclones.With Robin Williams' many voices,original music by Ry Cooder and fanciful illustrations by Tim Raglin,this yarn is rich in language,imagery and sheer nonsensical fun.
