About This Item
New York: Vantage Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1974. First Edition. Hardcover. 053300585x . Text is clean. Cover shows normal wear. Dust jacket shows wear, rubbing along folds, with small closed tear along top edge and light chipping at upper front corner. Signed by author with both real and pen names. ; From dust jacket flap: . . . Many of the tales in this book come from Tennessee where the author's maternal family originated. Others are from notes taken down during the years. The tales are written by a born raconteur in the American folkloric tradition - where stories are transmitted from generation to generation and enjoyed verbally, though sometimes never recorded. Here they are recorded for the enjoyment of the reader, who may just spot a story that has been drifting through his own family for years. Mr. Otis started this book some 30 years ago when an accident prevented him from taking a fishing trip with a buddy. He decided to write down the tales they would tell one another during the trip, and thereby developed a hobby of collecting odd and unususal tales picked up from many people and places. Actually born in "Grandma's Garden, " Mr. Otis has carried these tales back home because of their comfortable association. ; 202 pages; Signed by Author .
