The book then explores the Native American and Old World sources of southern folk culture. Two case studies serve as examples to stu-dents and as evidence of the author's larger points. The first traces the origins and develop-ment of an artifact type, the clay jug; the second examines a place, Georgia, and the relationship of its folklore to the region as a whole.

As a student starting Dr.Burrion's class this semester, I can honestly say I have never been this excited about buying a textbook. I read some of the essays he's assigned and was thinking about just getting this book from the library. As a Georgia Peach myself, I can say I'm genuinely excited about reading what Dr. Burrison has put together.

This is one of the best textbooks I have ever had the luck to buy. I hope others interested in the folklore of the South feel the same.

I found the book an exceptional window to the folklore and myth that makes up the South. If anyone has a desire to get in touch with some of the soul of the South a journey through Storytellers:Folktales and Legends from the South is truly worth while.
