An attractive collection of 47 nonsense rhymes, riddles, and ballads collected in West Virginia, many (not all) either familiar or variants of the familiar. The illustrations--full-page to mini-vignette--present the mountain folk with affectionate realism, their less likely antics with imaginative humor. Index; music not included, but an edition with cassette is available ($18.95; SBN: 394-85363-6).
