Times of Used to be: Tales from Southwest Virginia - Tapa blanda

This laugh-filled collection of short stories captures the Appalachian family as only a native can write it. The stories about the author’s home and his family and friends, and the laughter that got five generations of them through the Great Depression and World War II, artfully blend the trials of early 1900s Appalachian living with the joys and excitement of childhood. Mullins’ humor will delight you as he tells stories of self-proclaimed preachers, turnip thumpers, horse traders, teacher hackers, and little sister pesterers.

Denvil Mullins has authored several books of short stories and tall tales. He first utilized his tale-telling abilities many years ago when he would entertain his young sons with tales of fun, adventurous characters and places.
