San Antonio Man Tells Tall Tale is a memoir of a south Texas boy coming of age in the second half of the twentieth century.

Colorful illustrations by San Antonio artists Clay McGaughy and Pat Safir bring the stories to life. In the end, the reader will find that these are not tall tales at all, but the real life experiences of a lucky kid growing up in South Texas.
