What a fun, interesting book!

I believe this book was written by an anthropologist, who went into the Ozarks and interviewed the local folks, collecting their folk legands, stories, and jokes. He recorded each story word-for-word as they were told to him by people of all ages - young kids to senior citizens - trying to preserve the dialect in his word spellings.It's a good study of folklore, and makes for fun reading. I got a lot of laughs from it. By the way, the book gets its name from the area south of a creek called "Hell-for-Certain," pronounced in the local dialect as "Hell-fer-Sartin." I'd recommend it for cultural study, and especially for stress management. (A good laugh is excellent stress relief!)
