Southern Jack tales

A collection of thirteen Jack tales from the southern Appalachian Mountains, including "The Time Jack Told a Big Tale," "The Time Jack Cured the Doctor," and "The Time Jack Stole the Cows."

First sentence: At some point in their reading, most educated folks will run across the name of Jack, and of "the Jack tales"-an intriguingly complex phrase, evoking in one breath the humility of the commonplace and the grandeur of art.
