Stories of the South: Old and New

In this collection the editor offers a picture of the South as that region has been portrayed by writers of short fiction. An omnibus volume of twenty-seven famous tales, it tells of plantation life and the new Afro-American; of the slowly changing hillbilly and the poor white of the lowlands; of traditional Charleston, colorful New Orleans, and progressive Birmingham.

Originally published in 1931.
