Book excerpt: John Hood's new novel Mountain Folk uses elements of folklore and epic fantasy to tell the story of America's founding in a fresh and exciting way. Goran is one of the rare fairies who can live without magical protection in the Blur, the human world where the days pass twenty times faster than in fairy realms. Goran's secret missions for the Rangers Guild take him across the British colonies of North America - from far-flung mountains and rushing rivers to frontier farms and bustling towns. Along the way, Goran encounters Daniel Boone, George Washington, an improbably tall dwarf, a mysterious water maiden, and a series of terrifying monsters from European and Native American legend. But when Goran is ordered to help the other fairy nations of the New World crush the American Revolution, he must choose between a solemn duty to his own people and fierce loyalty to his human friends and the principles they hold dear."

Book excerpt: This is the story of a generation that is passing, of a people whom I have known only in their latter years. No character in this book is the portrait of any actual person. The data here presented are not fabrications of mine. I have recorded the tales that were told to me in backwoods cabins, around wilderness campfires, on long rides over mountain trails, beside little stills on big hollows.The songs included are true folk-songs which I have heard in the back hills, sung by people who did not learn them from any book. The superstitions mentioned are genuine folk-beliefs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ozark region, located in northern Arkansas and southern Missouri, has long been the domain of the folklorist and the travel writer--a circumstance that has helped shroud its history in stereotype and misunderstanding. With Hill Folks, Brooks Blevins offers the first in-depth historical treatment of the Arkansas Ozarks. He traces the region's history from the early nineteenth century through the end of the twentieth century and, in the process, examines the creation and perpetuation of conflicting images of the area, mostly by non-Ozarkers. Covering a wide range of Ozark social life, Blevins examines the development of agriculture, the rise and fall of extractive industries, the settlement of the countryside and the decline of rural communities, in- and out-migration, and the emergence of the tourist industry in the region. His richly textured account demonstrates that the Arkansas Ozark region has never been as monolithic or homogenous as its chroniclers have suggested. From the earliest days of white settlement, Blevins says, distinct subregions within the area have followed their own unique patterns of historical and socioeconomic development. Hill Folks sketches a portrait of a place far more nuanced than the timeless arcadia pictured on travel brochures or the backward and deliberately unprogressive region depicted in stereotype.

Book excerpt: Mountain Folk is the fifth and final book in the Backroads series by Lynn Coffey that showcases the lives and customs of the native Appalachian people of Virginia's highlands. Interviews with seventeen people still living in and around the hamlet of Love where the author makes her home, shed a new light on these private and oft-misunderstood folks whose roots grow deep in the rocky soil of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Read about Ruby May Henderson and Irma Roberts, both now over one-hundred years of age who can remember what life was like during the horse and buggy days of their childhood. Or Carl Coffey, whose father died when he was eight years old, leaving him and his younger in charge of making a living for their family of five by logging the forest with a massive but gentle ox named "Mike." Be swept away by Frances Fitzgerald's account of the Flood of 1969, when Hurricane Camille ripped through rural Nelson County, Virginia, dumping over two feet of rain in an eight hour period, destroying not only property but taking the mountains down with it, along with 124 lives. Read the eulogy for Owen Garfield Campbell; one of the last true mountain men of our area, who, following in the footsteps of his early ancestors, continued to live a life devoid of all modern conveniences. These stories and more will thrill the reader and command new respect for the last generation of mountain people who lived the old way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Howdy Folks! I'm Fuster Buskins is a collection of the humorous stories and song poems of hillbilly comedy character Fuster Buskins, as played by actor/singer/songwriter and banjo picker Darrell Sroufe. In an over twenty-five year career of entertaining at southern theme parks; major entertainment venues; doing road tours throughout America; performing on national radio and television programs; and recording several albums played on radio stations in the United States and Europe, Fuster Buskins built quite a large repertoire of material. As his shows ran from one to two hours in length, Fuster's stories and poem songs were cut, changed, added to and discarded over the years. Now, in this volume alone they all appear with enough material to fill a book and enough good old time southern humor to fill hearts with laughter for years to come!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these two classic memoirs, the beloved Appalachian author shares a rare and vibrant look at the life and culture of her rural Kentucky home. A free-form combination of glossary and memoir, How We Talked is a timeless piece of literature that uses native expressions to depict everyday life in Caney Creek, Kentucky. In addition to phrases and their meanings, the book contains sections on the customs and wisdom of Slone's community, a collection of children's rhymes, and stories and superstitions unique to Appalachia. Originally published in 1979, Common Folks documents Slone's way of life in Pippa Passes, Kentucky, and expands on such diverse topics as family pets, coal mining, education, and marriage. Slone's firsthand account of this unique heritage draws readers into her hill-circled community and allows them to experience a lifestyle that is nearly forgotten. Whether Slone is writing about the particulars of Appalachian folk medicine or the universal experiences of family life, her deep insight and eye for evocative detail make for compelling reading. Published together for the first time, How We Talked and Common Folks celebrate the spirit of an acclaimed Appalachian writer.
