The Book Transcends Age and Place,
By A Customer
This review is from: A is for Appalachia (Hardcover)
This book is an accurate and informative portrait of the Southern Appalachian region. It is a book full of tales, language excursions, recipes and asides into the Native American population that first settled the region. Although intended for children, the book transcends age and place. It is a page-turner for anyone interested in cultural diversity and mesmerizing prose.
