Snakebite: Lives and Legends of Central Pennsylvania
No Customer Reviews
The ancient folk art of storytelling still thrives in the rolling mountains and long valleys of north-central Pennsylvania. To honor this tradition, James York Glimm--teacher, folk singer, and lover of folklore--sought out celebrated raconteurs and colorful characters and persuaded them to tell their favorite stories.
Snakebite presents the three most popular kinds of orally transmitted narratives: folktales, true stories, and autobiographies. Glimm's collection includes a surprising variety of folktale forms, including jokes, anecdotes, and whoppers.
