Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The title and the idea for this book began in 1958, when Mody Boatright first published his essay, The Family Saga as a Form of Folklore. What Mody identified was a long established form of folklore that was firmly entrenched among people everywhere.The family sagaas Mody and this collection defines itis made up of an accumulation of separate family legends. These are the stories of the old folks and the old times that are told among the family when they gather for funerals or Thanksgiving dinner. These are the rememberwhen stories the family tells about the time when the grownups were children.Families with strong identities and strong bonds eventually have a library of legends, treasures passed along in the oral tradition. Because of shared humanity and common family experiences, the legends of these old families follow a recognizable pattern of topics, some of which are contained herein. A large and chronologically extended collection of family legends brought together under one coveror one roofis a family saga.Included here are stories grouped by common topics, such as Ghosts and the Supernatural, Feuding and Fighting, and Death and Burial. They include tales from favorite storytellers Elmer Kelton, James Ward Lee, Robert Flynn, Archie McDonald, and John Graves. Lavishly illustrated, this volume is a fitting tribute to F. E. Abernethy's dedication to the Texas Folklore Society.
