Jack Always Seeks His Fortune: Authentic Appalachian Jack Tales (American Storytelling from August House)

By Donald Davis

Book Overview

While growing up in the mountains of western North Carolina, Davis heard stories that most American children never heard--stories that came to America through Scotch-Irish immigrants about Jack, a universal figure who is found in nearly every culture by various names. Davis was a featured storyteller at SEBA last year and at ALA this summer.
