Softcover. Condition: Very Good in brown wraps. 8vo., Anchor Press Edition, published simultaneously in hard and softcover. Cover design by Jim McWilliams. Ghost Stories, Spring Wild Plant Foods, Spinning and Weaving, Midwifing, Burial Customs, Corn Shuckin's, Wagon Making and More Affairs of Plain Living Well. Illustrated with…photos and line drawings. Eliot Wigginton was working as a teacher in rural Georgia trying to motivate his high school English class students, the children of descendants of the original, self-sufficient mountain people of Appalachia, who were distracted by the constant demands of their rural lifestyle and saw little practicality in higher education. Wigginton tasked the students with a journalism project interviewing their neighbors and named the resulting magazine "Foxfire" after a local glowing fungus. In 1972, the very popular 'Foxfire' magazines [9 million copies were sold in the first 10 years] was first compiled into a hardcover book which continues to this day in specialized editions. The books are valued for being at the forefront of the artisanal and Green Movement and as a valuable sociological concept for studying the unique and diverse traditions of the United States. First published in 1972, The Foxfire Book was a surprise bestseller that brought Appalachia's philosophy of simple living to hundreds of thousands of reader through The Foxfire Museum and Heritage Center that had a contact who could teach you how with clear, step-by-step instructions.
