Miss America Kissed Caleb
The mountain is a lonely place. Welcome to Sourwood, a small Kentucky town inhabited by men and women unique and yet eerily familiar. Among its joyful and tragic citizens we meet the crafty, spirited Caleb and his curious younger brother; Pearl, a suspected witch, and her sheltered daughter, Thanie; superstitious Eli; and the doomed orphan Girty. In Sourwood, the mountain is both a keeper of secrets and an imposing, isolating presence, shaping the lives of all who live in its shadow. Strong in both the voice and sensibilities of Appalachia, the stories in Miss America Kissed Caleb are at turns heartbreaking and hilarious. In the title story, young Caleb turns over his hard-earned dime to the...
A Heap of Hills
Only the most serious students of Clark's career know that before he enjoyed national success, a collection of four stories, A Heap of Hills, was published while he was a college student. This modest and obscure little book was issued in 1953 by the University of Kentucky s Phi Beta Kappa society as an Award for Outstanding Undergraduate Writing. From that copy, the Jesse Stuart Foundation has produced a facsimile reprint as a token of our respect for Billy C. Clark. Although these stories were later reprinted in other publications, this book is a fond reminder of one of Kentucky s most loved and respected authors and educators. Following six new frontal pages and cover, Clark fans can treasure a reproduction of the original copy of A Heap of Hills with no changes in text or format.
By Way of the Forked Stick
"By way of the forked stick offers four fictional stories drawn from the author's childhood experiences of the 1930s-tales that vividly convey the downhome spirit of a lost way of life"--Front jacket.
Sourwood Tales
Sourwood Tales is a collection of eighteen short stories that present an accurate picture of life in the Big Sandy region of Eastern Kentucky during the Great Depression of the 1930's. Clark is a masterful story teller who captures local life and lore in a way that fascinates both children and adults.
