Mountain Jack Tales
Description:
Jack is the universal folk hero and adventurer. Tales of Jack’s adventures are as timeless as bedrock but as fresh as dawn in the Appalachian Mountains. Whether besting ogres, outsmarting flatland card sharps, wrestling with ornery witches, or even taking on Old Man Death himself, the plainspoken hero’s common sense, goodness and hill-country humor help him come out on top every time. “In a lucid, vibrant voice, Caldecott Medalist Haley recounts stories that originate in the rugged North Carolina Mountain country ... Haley’s use of metaphor, hyperbole and dialect captures the playful spirit of mountain lore. Her emotive, elaborate wood engravings, as well as her afterwords about the stories, the art and language itself, enrich this boyant anthology.” —Publishers Weekly Haley’s “spirited retellings are salted with backwoods language ... and illustrated with wood engravings that are full of energy, comedy and magical creatures.” —Kirkus Reviews
