Summary: Great camp fire stories
Comment: When we go camping we look for the best book to read during our campfires, one that makes you laugh and think...the stories written with accents that Dad (me) can do, like southern drwals and mountain slang, or foreign accents are the best, this one met that criteria with the mountain way of talken...we were in stiches the whole book, we were even told by other campers who over heard us, that they also enjoyed the stories. We checked this book out from the library, but I will get a copy to keep, it will be read over and over again.

Summary: Childhood memories that stand the test of time
Comment: My mother, who was from North Carolina with relatives in the Appalachians, read The Jack Tales to my brother and me before we started reading for ourselves. She got really tired of doing so, because we'd ask for them over and over. Fairy tales are the deep learning of childhood, and to hear these stories written the same way our older relatives spoke was wondrous. The stories themselves are a celebration of Jack the hero and Jack the Trickster, told with plenty of humour to keep things interesting and in a voice both authentically American and of universal appeal. I'm delighted to be able to get my hands on a copy - this is a book well worth reading and preserving for the next generation of avid readers.

Summary: that jack can spin some yarns.
Comment: I found this book in the library of my elementary school around 1965. After I married and had children I had to have a copy of this book for them. They enjoyed Jack's adventures as much as I did. I'm going to purchase several more copies and I plan to keep one for myself and give others away. Read these tales yourself and you will want to do the same.
