Ray Cunningham was born in a hundred-year-old log cabin in Alabama, where most folks were "short on book learning." Desiring to save his native dialect, Ray traveled extensively, cataloging the terms and phrases of his youth. That collection slowly grew into a manuscript, which was originally published as Old Timey Southern Talk. This book has been brought back into print and expanded to include even more idioms and pronunciations. The charm and humor of this dialect is preserved and honored in this volume.

Review
"Bouquets to Ray Cunningham for recognizing the need to preserve a portion of our Southern heritage, and for attempting to capture it in writing. Cunningham saw a small bit of Southern culture slipping away, and he's done an admirable job trying to preserve it before it disappears entirely." --Amy Beddingfield, Hendersonville Times-News
