384 pages Illustrations. Index of people. The book has some wear as well as some staining to the cover and some pages. Inscribed by the editor on the half-title. The inscription reads: "For Chris, Thanks for being a fan of our work! Eliot Wigginton Oct. 16, 1983". Embossed seal of former owner on half-title page. Eliot Wigginton (born Brooks Eliot Wigginton on November 9, 1942) is an American oral historian, folklorist, writer and former educator. He is known for developing with his students the Foxfire Project, a writing project consisting of interviews and stories about Appalachia. The series comprised essays and articles by high school students from Rabun County, Georgia focusing on Appalachian culture. In 1989, he was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship. In 1966, Wigginton began a writing project with his students at Rabun Gap Nacooche High School, who began to compile written oral histories from local residents based on recorded interviews. In 1967, they started publishing the interviews, along with original articles and other student writing, in a quarterly magazine called Foxfire, named after local phosphorescent lichen. Topics included folklife practices, recipes, customs associated with farming, and the rural life of southern Appalachia, as well as the folklore and oral histories of local residents. In 1972, an anthology of collected Foxfire articles was published as The Foxfire Book (Anchor Press). In total, the school published twelve volumes. Several collections of recorded music were also released. Wigginton transferred the Foxfire project transferred to Rabun County High School in 1977. First published in 1972, The Foxfire Book was a surprise bestseller that brought Appalachia's philosophy of simple living to hundreds of thousands of readers. Whether you wanted to hunt game, bake the old-fashioned way, or learn the art of successful moonshining, The Foxfire Museum and Heritage Center had a contact who could teach you how with clear, step-by-step instructions. This classic debut volume of the acclaimed series covers a diverse array of crafts and practical skills, including log cabin building, hog dressing, basketmaking, cooking, fencemaking, crop planting, hunting, and moonshining, as well as a look at the history of local traditions like snake lore and faith healing. Foxfire In popular culture: In 1982, Hume Cronyn and Susan Cooper developed Foxfire, a play inspired by Foxfire magazine. It was staged at the Ethel Barrymore Theater on Broadway in New York City. In 1983, Jessica Tandy won a Tony Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play for her performance as Annie Nations, a Southern Appalachian widow based on the popular Aunt Arie, who appeared in several Foxfire books, including Aunt Arie: A Foxfire Portrait. In 1987, the play was adapted into a TV movie by the same name, which received one Golden Globe nomination, and seven nominations for the 1988 Primetime Emmy awards. Jessica Tandy reprised her role as Annie Nations, winning the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Special. Jan Scott and Eric Rogalla also won Emmy Awards for Outstanding Art Direction.
