Wonderful, if rambling, collection of stories about Alabama and some of its people, including the woman hit by a meteorite, a few more fortunate folks, and a few dastardly ones indeed. The pictures are also nice, but they ALL need captions, not just a few. The stories about "The War Between the States" are not overdone, and who know that General George McClellan's sister was the wife of an Alabama plantation owner?

In her inimitable storytelling style, Mrs. Windham takes readers on a tour of the history, people, and places of the "heart of Dixie." First published in 1975 and long out of print, Alabama: One Big Front Porch is now reissued in a handsome new edition. Alabama, they say, is like one big front porch where folks gather on summer nights to tell tales and to talk family. Everybody, they say, is kin to everybody else--or knows somebody who is. It's a sprawling porch, stretching from the Tennessee River valley to the sandy Gulf beaches with its sides sometimes slipping over into Mississippi and Georgia. The tale-tellers don't all look alike and they don't all talk alike, but the stories they tell are all alike in their unmistakeable Southern blend of exaggeration, humor, pathos, folklore, and romanticism. Family history is woven into the stories. And pride. And humor. Always humor. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
