Baring the soul of the South, this book contains 3,500 Southern-fried words and expressions. Hendrickson deciphers the Southern dialect in a carefully documented, yet anecdotal fashion. For word buffs, academics and professionals, this invaluable reference has humor . . . some bawdiness . . . and the ability to stimulate thought and discussion.--Booklist.
Be it revelry in the commercial consumerism so railed against by Charlie Brown, or a feast of seven fishes, or further still the quiet solemnity, incense, and psaltery organ of a midnight mass service, many different traditions are upheld as we approach Christmas.
