Kathryn Tucker Windham begins this montage of stories with the sounds of summer and ends with a joyful Christmas memory. The mixture of tales from the mouth-watering description of good Southern food to the story of a governor more familiar with Tom Sawyer than Tom Jefferson comes together to evoke the image of a happy childhood.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
In a deep Southern drawl, storyteller Windham doles out these personal memories like lemonade on a sizzling summer day. Her opinions on Yankee "conebread" and dark-colored butter beans are priceless. Sleep-inducing but peaceful, her accounts cover summer camp revival meetings, politics, and food in a delightful manner. The tape is embellished by sound effects like choir singing and children playing. Forty-one minutes is not enough; listeners will want more of Windham's storytelling.

This review is from: Old-Fashioned Words (What Makes Us Southerners) (Audio CD)
I had heard Kathry Tucker Windham telling some pretty funny stories from her childhood on Alabama Public Radio and I HAD to find out where to buy her CD's. They are great! What a storyteller. I am so pleased that Amazon carries so much of her CD's and books! Kathryn's southern drawl is so sweet just like my grandmothers was. K.T.W. tells some hilarious adventures too. You will NOT be disappointed!

Her stories are entertaining and her voice is wonderful to listen to. I grew up on southern Alabama well after she grew up but her stories take me back, maybe it's her voice... the accent so like my gramma's. I can't get enough of her!
