Windham, who frequently participates in oral storytelling sessions around the country, grew up in a small Alabama town in the early part of this century. She was surrounded by offbeat adults in those years, among them a doughty aunt, who was the town's formidable postmistress, and a circuit-riding Baptist-preacher grandfather. They were fodder for legends within the family, as well as story-creators themselves. As Windham weaves her memories there are digressions into tales that mark the castes of a bygone South, tales that move in slow cadence and bring to life a family that accommodated all members in their entertaining oddities. The word \"\"serigamy\"\" is, according to the author, a family coinage, used through the generations to indicate \"\"a goodly number,\"\" and the word aptly applies as well to this charming retrospective.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52620094112024,"sku":"9781578062560","price":24.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/a-serigamy-of-stories-paperback-softback-9781578062560","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
