About this book
Acclaimed anthropologist folklorist and novelist Zora Neale Hurston traveled the back roads of the rural South collecting stories from men women and children in Florida Alabama Georgia and Louisiana so that the spirit and richness of the oral storytelling tradition could be shared and preserved. Whats the Hurry Fox? is a sampling of stories from Every Tongue Got To Confess Ms. Hurstons third volume of folktales collected from the Gulf statesin the 1930s. They have been carefully adapted and shaped by National Book -- and Coretta Scott King Awardwinning author Joyce Carol Thomas to appeal to the sensibilities of young readers. Caldecott Honor -- and Coretta Scott King Award-winning artist Bryan Collier adds his unique vision with collages that capture the rich heritage and rural community setting of the stories that are Ms. Hurstons legacy to us.
