This book is classic Foxfire. The archives of original interviews and other items in the files were used for this book. It features storytelling classics and sayings. As an Appalachian girl myself I grew up with some of the stories and am aware of how they were used to make a point, entertain, or explain. The beginning of the book told an incredible story of the history of Foxfire, the museum, and many of the original struggles and triumphs. It was a good remembrance of those books I loved so much in the 70s. I got an ARC digital copy of this book for the review and would recommend that readers buy the hard copy. For some reason reading a Foxfire book digitally is just wrong. Enjoyed the blast from the past and this book is reminder of all the good things in the original books. T.J. Smith does a good job in this book, just as in the others, of entertaining the reader and he himself is masterful at telling the story of Foxfire origins. Thanks to all involved in Foxfire for saving these parts of the now almost lost Appalachian culture.
Thanks #NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review #NetGalley#FoxfireStory.
