Synopsis A publishing phenomenon and more, the Foxfire series of books, first published in the 1960s, presented the research of young people involved in the Foxfire oral history project as they recovered the stories, crafts, and traditions of the people of Appalachia, including information about physical objects such as tools, structures, musical instruments, and clothing. This collection continues the wonderful presentation of self-sufficiency, home-spun values, and a simpler, deeper everyday life of a previous time, as it explores three topics: faith, family, and the land.
