Resources for all levels of teaching related to Appalachian folklore and literature: articles, bibliographies, study guides, lesson plans, links, reviews, Appalachian picture gallery, writing and art by students, some reprinted literary works and folktales, some material on ballads and other folk music. Focus is on literature for children and young adults but some literature for adults is included in relation to teaching at all levels and literature about childhood. Folklore sections (not limited to children's books) include extensive annotated multicultural bibliographies with parallel tales from other places listed, articles, study guides, and folklore texts, mainly from James Taylor Adams Collection of southwestern VA. Rex Stephenson's adaptation of "Mutsmag" is an online storybook illustrated with drawings by primary grade children. Material on Appalachian dialects and Cherokee language included. Submissions by students and adults are welcome.
