Donald Davis

4.9/5 (13063 ratings)

Description:Donald Davis grew up in the mountains of western North Carolina hearing stories that most American children have never heard. He did not know he was hearing anything special, but he was, in fact, learning a number of stories that came to America through Scots-Irish immigrants. These stories were still told in the Appalachians during the 1950s and centered around Jack, a universal legendary figure who, by various names, is found in nearly every culture. Jack is that everyman who encounters trials common to all: earning a living, winning a mate, subduing tyrants and ogres of all kinds. Jack wins by conquering his own timidity, by engaging his own wit, by plodding along, or simply by blind luck. Like each of us, Jack seeks to make sense of the world and to find his way in it. These stories from Appalachia America will make readers laugh as well as teach them about the importance of caring, fairness and resourcefulness.I grew up close to JackTime Jack went to seek his fortuneTime Jack told a big taleTime Jack got his first jobTime Jack fooled the millerTime Jack cured the doctorTime Jack got the silver swordTime Jack learned about old and newTime Jack stole the cowsTime Jack helped the King catch his girlsTime Jack got the wishing ringTime Jack solved the hardest riddleTime Jack went up in the big treeFirst time Jack came to AmericaWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
