Publisher's Synopsis
Close by a swamp, which lay down in the valley, between Blue Mountain and Swift River, Fatty Coon lived with his mother and his brother and his two sisters. Among them all there was what grown people call "a strong family resemblance," which is the same thing as saying that they all looked very much alike. The tail of each one of them- mother and children too-had six black rings around it. Each of them had a dark brown patch of fur across the face, like a mask. And-what do you think?-each of them, even Fatty and his brother and his sisters, had a stiff, white moustache!
