Storytellers makes fine, enjoyable reading.
Its best influence might be to inspire readers to remember stories of their own. Whether you're a rebel or a Yankee, the atmosphere created by Storytellers is one of hospitality. Storytellers, a rich collection of more than 250 authentic folktales, confirms the oral tradition of the South. Rising out of a shared rural past, the legends and myths, the jests and trickster tales presented here are as diverse and inventive as the tellers themselves. Presented in a standard-sized format, this affordable paperback edition reproduces the complete text of the earlier clothbound edition.
