| Synopsis: |
"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 as the tellers themselves. Edited and introduced by John A.Burrison and selected from more than twenty years of recorded interviews conducted in the lower Southeast by folklore students, "Storytellers" brings together a broad variety of tales told in voices of African-American, Anglo-Saxon, and native American descent. The work speaks of the South - not one South but many a region whose diversity is revealed and preserved in the telling of tales. Presented in a standard-sized format, this affordable paperback edition reproduces the complete text of the earlier clothbound edition. |
