About this product
Product Information
The stores of Mildred Haun, collected here for the first time, are unique in the annals of American literature. Set in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee and covering a span of family history from the Civil War to 1940, these tales achieve the forceful, intractable simplicity of the traditional ballads. But one also finds in these twenty-three stories an overview of the forces of nature, the paradoxes inherent in the human condition, and a full acceptance of the real world and the supernatural. Born to the milieu about which she wrote, Mildred Haun recorded a world which combined stark natural phenomena and passionate supernatural forces. And because the supernatural is woven into the dramatic fabric of the stories, it contributes, paradoxically, to the final credibility of events. Few writers in the twentieth century have set down so rich and complex a rendering of folk tradition and such a comprehensive treatment of superstition in the southern Appalachians. In these tales we meet a talking apple tree, a boy with the "hant bleach" of doom upon his brow, a bleeding ghost, a child's winding sheet wet with tears, and God's revelation in a blue bird. No other dialect collection from the South has been as close to the oral tradition or has achieved the same distinctive flavor and natural tonal qualities. The speech strikes the ear directly from the printed page. The language is simple and strong. A sparse, direct economy prevails. The total impact is explosive. Although Miss Haun dramatized themes of cruelty, revenge, and the loss of personal dignity in a harsh world, the comic tales in this volume call to mind the Native American humor of the Old Southwest and demonstrate that a female humorist, without coyness or bawdry, can hold her own alongside Davy Crockett, Sut Lovingood, and the nameless spinners of tall tales.

Reviews
The human predicament done in terms of a natural world, which does not forbid the supernatural. Mildred Haun has the true sense of a certain people, removed from a (so-called) more advanced kind of society. --Andrew Lytle, Sewanee Review, These are stories, strongly imaginative and excellently told, by a talented writer who used material real enough for ballads in that appropriate setting where balladry has made a last stand. --Robert Van Gelder,, The human predicament done in terms of a natural world, which does not forbid the supernatural.

Perhaps it is a fair description to say that it resembles old ballads done in a prose medium; it has the same compound of somber tragedy, rollicking humor and feeling for the strange and unusual. It is always close to real life, and is indeed realistic in the best sense, but it is not mere reporting. In it the imagination rules, and the old art of storytelling comes again into its own. Above all it is full of a supernaturalism that is never the mere exploitation of odd superstitions and folk beliefs." Donald Davidson

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
