This delightful volume by Allen R. Foley offers a glimpse into the rich vernacular and storytelling traditions of rural America. Published in 1983, “What the Old-Timer Said, and then some, to the Feller from Down-Country, and Even to His Neighbor (When He Had It Coming)” captures the wit and wisdom of small-town life through a collection of homespun tales and anecdotes. Foley’s work is a celebration of the unique language, humor, and perspectives that have long been a part of the cultural fabric of rural communities.
Collectors and readers alike will appreciate the authenticity and charm of Foley’s writing, which transports us to a time when storytelling was a cherished art form, passed down from generation to generation. This book offers a rare glimpse into a rapidly disappearing way of life, making it a valuable addition to any collection focused on American folklore, regional dialects, or the preservation of oral traditions. Despite its well-loved condition, this copy remains a delightful time capsule, inviting readers to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of rural Americana.
