From the Back Cover

In celebration of North Carolina's 400th birthday, Charles Kuralt collaborated with another of the state's famous sons, Loonis McGlohon, to produce this down-home, witty celebration of their native land. From Possomtrot to Frying Pan Shoals, Ava Gardner to Thomas Wolfe, this cultural tour of Tar heel country is Kuralt at his best - an uncanny eye for detail and an exquisite command of the language. In memory of Charles Kuralt, this new paperback edition of North Carolina is My Home features testimonials and remembrances from some of his closest friends, including Norman Corwin, Jan Karon, and Bill Friday. Charles Kuralt was born in Wilmington and brought up in Jacksonville, Steadman, Salisbury, Washington, and Charlotte, NC. Loonis McGlohon is an Ayden-born composer who lives with his family in Charlotte, NC.

Through prose, pictures and poems, this book gives one the "feel" of truely being a North Carolinian. Even if you have never visited the state, you can laugh, cry and dream as Charles Kuralt paints picture words of his home. A lovely relaxing read.
