The third in a series of books by Virginia Storyteller Charles Lytton, this is a series of heartwarming -- but by no means syrupy -- stories of Appalachia at its best. Lytton grew up fishing and gigging the New River, has a love for the characters who populated his childhood (from elementary school teachers to moonshiners), and has not let advanced degrees strip away the lingo that makes his narration so authentic. A treasures of tales to be read alone or aloud.
