A cycle of the Southern Hills

The first UK edition of an important work on the Appalachians, a series of dialect sketches focusing on a single Southern community that was praised for its realism. The author, who co-created the 1920s little magazine The Modern Review, died in a car accident in 1931, after attending a ‘bootlegger’ near Cherokee. Scarce especially in a jacket.
