Wonderful Pictures!

This B+W folio contains 100s of photos and stories of the Appalachians, most written by the young adults who did the photography! It's a rare glimpse into family life in the hills! The photos are well done, and convey a sense of innocence and reality. The text is written on an adult level; interesting and relavant. This book has aged well, and is still representative of this locality. Worthwhile, very special, and rare with more than a touch of real magic!
