Tully News
Tillie the tailor saw her dream come alive outside her window. In a dazzling blur in the shape of two wheels and a rider, Tillie watched and set firm her mind to race bicycles. In the 1890s it was considered unladylike to ride bicycles and Tillie’s family and friends frowned upon her bicycle racing dreams. Tillie was unstoppable. Rather than wearing long dresses and coats to ride, she sewed her own speedy bicycle racing suit. She won nearly every competition she entered from 100 mile century races to short track races. She was a champion!
Sue Stauffacher’s text and Sarah McMenemy’s watercolor illustrations bring Tillie’s pioneering rides and the turn of the century bicycle craze to life in their wonderful book, Tillie the Terrible Swede. The pages are full of motion and curves, embodying Tillie’s racing spirit, all rush and flight a whirlwind on her bike!
The end papers add interesting details in the form of sketches of women’s clothing of the time period and a brief chronology of Tillie Anderson’s cycling career.

This month we will discuss A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain by Robert Olen Butler.
This book is a 1992 collection of short stories by Butler. It received the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1993.
"Each story in the collection is narrated by a different Vietnamese immigrant living in the U.S. state of Louisiana. The stories are largely character-driven, with cultural differences between Vietnam and the United States as an important theme." — Wikipedia entry
