Windham, who frequently participates in oral storytelling sessions around the country, grew up in a small Alabama town in the early part of this century. She was surrounded by offbeat adults in those years, among them a doughty aunt, who was the town's formidable postmistress, and a circuit-riding Baptist-preacher grandfather. They were fodder for legends within the family, as well as story-creators themselves. As Windham weaves her memories there are digressions into tales that mark the castes of a bygone South, tales that move in slow cadence and bring to life a family that accommodated all members in their entertaining oddities. The word \"serigamy\" is, according to the author, a family coinage, used through the generations to indicate \"a goodly number,\" and the word aptly applies as well to this charming retrospective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathryn Tucker Windham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 157806256X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781578062560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.46h x 5.46w x 0.39d","brand":"Kathryn Tucker Windham","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44598567010559,"sku":"9781578062560","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_63d882b4-a6fc-471b-996a-c508eb6c6a02.jpg?v=1702383226","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-serigamy-of-stories-kathryn-tucker-windham-9781578062560","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
