Tall Tales of Appalachia

📖 Tall Tales of Appalachia: Wit, Wisdom, and Porch‑Side Laughter

There’s a special kind of magic in the Appalachian Mountains — a blend of humor, grit, and storytelling that’s been passed down through generations. In my newest book, Tall Tales of Appalachia, I’ve gathered up a collection of yarns that capture that spirit, each spun with laughter and stitched with a lesson.

Guided by the voice of Uncle Amos, readers are invited to pull up a chair and settle in for stories that are tall as a beanpole yet grounded in truth. From the missteps of Big‑Footed Bobcat to the antics of Pete the Penguin and Buster the Bull, every tale dances between exaggeration and wisdom. You’ll laugh at the foolishness, nod at the lessons, and maybe even see a bit of yourself in the characters who stumble, brag, or meddle their way into trouble.

What makes these tales shine is their balance: humor that entertains, morals that linger, and a voice that feels like it’s been echoing across porches for centuries. Whether it’s Nancy Noseythorn learning the sting of gossip, Junior discovering the hard way about electric fences, or Rufus the mountain lion roaring too loud for his own good, each story reminds us that life’s lessons often come wrapped in laughter.

This collection isn’t about stereotypes — it’s about celebrating the generosity, resilience, and humanity of mountain folk. The stories are sly teachers, slipping wisdom into your pocket before you even know it’s there.

So pour yourself a glass of sweet tea, lean back, and let Uncle Amos spin you a yarn. Tall Tales of Appalachia is more than a book — it’s an invitation to laugh, reflect, and carry a little mountain wisdom with you wherever you go.
