I’m so glad I caught a glance of this while I was wandering around the library the other day. The Foxfire series is something that’s always existed in my periphery with the original paperbacks passed down from my grandfather. I had no idea that the program was still running and publishing new stuff like this.

This is a really lovely book, chock-full of different examples of southern Appalachia oral folklore from a diverse set of voices all lovingly transcribed and notated where needed.
