5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely walk through the Smokies., March 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Mountains in the Mist: Impressions of the Great Smokies (Hardcover)

I discovered this book while looking for a present for my aunt's 88th. birthday present. She and her late husband traveled all over the country taking their time to wander back roads and see things tourists miss. One of their favorite spots was the Smoky Mountains. I'm sure this book will bring back many pleasant memories for her. The paintings are wonderful as are the many small vignettes of birds and tree leaves. Even if you haven't been to the Smokies--as I haven't--you'll find the book enjoyable. Haven't read it yet, since I think my aunt should first, but I couldn't resist looking at the paintings, as did my parents. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely wonderful!, July 2, 2009

I purchased this book several years ago at one of the Great Smoky Mountains Visitor's Centers, and it's been on my coffee table ever since. It is one of the few books on the Smokies that leaves me feeling like I've been transported to the mountains after reading even just a few pages. The author/illustrator does a fantastic job of capturing the sights and culture associated with Southern Appalachia. I highly recommend this if you are a fan of the Great Smokies!
