Based on stories rooted in European traditions from German fairy tales to Irish hero stories to Greek myths, the tales had been handed down through generations of telling before Marie Campbell collected them in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Readers will recognize the story of Snow White in \"A Stepchild That Was Treated Mighty Bad,\" while \"Three Shirts and a Golden Finger Ring\" recalls the fairy tale of the Seven Swans. \"The Fellow That Married A Dozen Times\" is a lively rendition of \"Bluebeard.\" As the narrators cautioned Marie Campbell again and again, \"Tale-telling is nigh about faded out in the mountain country,\" but \u003ci\u003eTales from the Cloud Walking Country\u003c\/i\u003e offers a lasting record of history, cultural heritage, language, and good old-fashioned fun.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marie Campbell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.68d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820321868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMARIE CAMPBELL was a teacher and folklorist who, between 1926 and 1934, lived, worked, and traveled the eastern Kentucky mountains.
