- Summary
- "Every time Hoppy enters a town he is greeted with delight and anticipation, offered meals, and has girls trying to catch more than just his eye. It's not that Hoppy is so special; it's the pitcher shows that he brings, the shoot-'em-ups and giddyappers that have the Ozark folk eager to welcome him. Hoppy's routine is challenged when a teen stows away in his truck and proves to be a lot more than he seems. Together they contend with a wily traveling preacher who dogs their heels, trying to take away their audience. Cunningly, the preacher steals Hoppy's pitchers, leaving the pitcher shower no choice but to buy the only pitcher available, a film called A Midsummer Night's Dream, hoping it will prove popular with audiences who expect Hopalong Cassidy." "Join Hoppy on his picaresque adventures as he brings the magic of Shakespeare and the magic of the Ozarks together, and struggles with the mystery of love, both the giving and receiving."--BOOK JACKET.
