From box: It was five or six years ago, but the scene stands engraved in my memory: a small, weathered general store, fast by a bustling mountain stream, its access a gravel road. It was along this road we traveled with John Parris and it was here we stopped to complete the menu for an autumn picnic. Into the store went John Parris. Some time later he emerged with some onions, and the storekeeper, and the material for another of his famous columns on mountain times, people and places. To say that this writer knows everybody in our end of the state would be an exaggeration, but not a great one. And in his view, there's a story in almost every native and every cove, just waiting to be told. John Parris is a master storyteller, his use of words a painstaking search for those that fit perfectly. After a distinguished career as a foreign correspondent, he has found contentment in writing of his homeland, interpreting, as only he can, the moods of the high hills and documenting the pride and the character of those sufficiently blessed to be born there. These four books -- "Roaming the Moutains" -- are testimony to what we have said here. Their acceptance is legendary -- all original printings were quickly sold out, all have strong appeal to collectors. This collection doesn't need any additional incentive, but the original wild flower illustrations by the author's wife, Dorothy Luxton Parris, appear as in the original works.
