C. Robert Jones

Playwright

Lanky Lonagan first appeared on the scene when the Southern Appalachian Repertory Theatre (SART) produced C. Robert Jones’s musical, A Belonging Place, the story of Abel Ammons, a mountain fable teller. In the play, Abel tells stories to the local children about his favorite character, Lanky Lonagan, who at age 13 is six feet, four inches tall (therefore the name “Lanky.”)

Often, it seems that Lanky, in trying to be helpful, makes mistakes and upsets all the folks in the tiny mountain town of Claggett Cove where he lives. He then has to figure out how to make things right . . . and more often than not, he ends up making things better than they were in the first place—and becomes a hero in the process.

... and Volume 2

Recommended for readers 8 - 12

***Just Published!***

Although they are designed for children ages 8-11, these stories are fun for the whole family as the reader gets to know the delightful—and sometimes quirky—residents of the Cove who appear throughout the various stories.
