Ancient Creek e-bog

A classic tale of heroism and revolution by celebrated Kentucky writer Gurney Norman.First published in 1975 as a spoken-word record, Gurney Norman's classic folktale tells the story of resistance among "e;the folks"e; in a mythical "e;hill domain"e; ruled by an absurd but evil king. Told in mock-heroic language, the story employs satire, comic irony, regional speech, and "e;the voice of a storyteller,"e; as a fugitive hero, Jack, leads the people in revolt against an oppressive monarchy.Featuring cover art by eastern Kentucky artist Pam Oldfield Meade, this new edition of Ancient Creek includes four essays about the story by scholar Annalucia Accardo, writer Dee Davis, professor Kevin I. Eyster, and the late poet and scholar Jim Wayne Miller.Published in 2012 by Old Cove Press
