This is a book filled with a diverse array of beautifully illustrated folk tales, ghost stories, recipes, Jack Tales, expressions, happenings, and music that excites the imagination of people of all ages. Adults and children alike are shown a remarkable legacy particular to Appalachia, but one that also truly transcends cultures.

“This book is a delight from beginning to end. I believe I love it as much as my two daughters do, and they adore it. A is for Appalachia! is entertaining, informative, and a perfect read. I can’t recommend it enough.”– Silas House, author of Clay’s Quilt, A Parchment of Leaves, The Coal Tattoo, and Something’s Rising: Appalachians Fighting Mountaintop Removal
