Images of Yesterday

Denvil Mullins
Denvil Mullins is back once more - with the fifth in a series of books about the people and their way of life in the Southern Appalachians. In the tradition of Times of Used to Be, The Cornfields of Coaley Creek, Echoes of Appalachia, and The Road Back Home, Mullins continues the hillarious saga of Cornfield Clan of Coaley Creek with more shenanigans, mischief, and exciting adventures. His numerous fans will be delighted with this latest collection of stories about that wonderful life of long ago.

In Images of Yesterday, you will read about the dread of the first day of school - and the necessary bath to go with it - along with a story about a lovelorn boy who does not pay attention to a Sunday sermon at church. There is also a tale about a hygiene class and one about a lesson learned by a bunch of boys who try to rob a neighbor's beehive. You will also read about rooster fights, a runaway trip to the ocean, the fear of death by measles, and a great fishing trip. And then there's the smiling snake-man.

If you enjoy humor - and the laughter that goes with it - you will enjoy this book from beginning to end. Mullins puts no one down, he jsut lifts them up with a good dose of laughter. He doesn't laugh at these wonderful people, he laughs with them.
