| Publisher Description: The phenomenal success of Laughter in Appalachia, Loyal Jones' and Billy Edd Wheeler's first collection of humor (now in its twelfth printing), says something about the importance of humor in our lives, and the talent Jones and Wheeler have in finding the best of it. More Laughter in Appalachia, their fourth collection of Southern mountain humor, may well be their funniest and most comprehensive collection to date. Packed with humorous jokes, anecdotes, poems, riddles, and song, not to mention a nineteenth-century sermon a backwoods political speech, and a comical arrest warrant, this collection is thick with artifacts of Southern wit. Whether you are interested in humor as part of our cultural heritage or you just want a good laugh, you will find this mountain of Southern humor heartwarming and sidesplitting. |
