Rusties and Riddles and Gee-Haw Whimmy-Diddles
- Used Book in Good Condition
The people of the Kentucky mountains and the southern Appalachians preserved a language alive with colorful turns of phrase and whimsical wit and for their amusement they created a rich vein of oral loreâ€•songs, tales, and games. James Still presents a varied and entertaining collection of riddles, whimsies, and verbal pranks, gathered through his long association with the mountain people of eastern Kentucky.

This book includes in one volume two earlier booksâ€•Way Down Yonder on Troublesome Creek and The Wolfpen Rustiesâ€•that have been unavailable for several years. It contains the complete text of the original editions, including Still's explanatory notes for archaic or obscure expressions. Also included are the original lively illustrations by the noted artist Janet McCaffery.
