I love this series and am collecting them one-by-one. While I don't hail from Appalachia, I come from nearby and hail from stocky, rural, holler folk. Eliot Wigginton did us all a favor with this pervasive collection of knowledge from Appalachian mountain folk.

One day I hope to cozy up with this

series and learn something new. I love reading the stories from the community elderlies. They are so great!
