Times of Used To Be

Denvil Mullins

This laugh-filled collection of short stories captures the Appalachian family as only a native can write it. The stories about the author’s home and his family and friends, and the laughter that got five generations of them through the Great Depression and World War II, artfully blend the trials of early 1900s Appalachian living with the joys and excitement of childhood. Mullins’ humor will delight you as he tells stories of self-proclaimed preachers, turnip thumpers, horse traders, teacher hackers, and little sister pesterers.
Perhaps you have lost childhood memories over the years. While you discover his, the author may help you rediscover your own. Full of jokes and peril and tons of monkeyshine, this wonderful set of tales is an entertaining read for all ages.
