Rating: - Talking Turkey: And Other Stories of North Carolina's Oddly
This is a delightful and insightful book that is well researched. It has very interesting background on many place names and gives the reader a new understanding on why we have such odd names for many of our towns, etc. I am sure that the same kind of explanations may be applied to place names in many states, not just North Carolina; therefore this book is not just for North Carolinians!
Rating: - Humorist approach to funny city names
I am familiar with this author's writings & I always find her stories warm, funny & just a lovely respite between stress attacks. She is a fabulous southern writer. This book is no exception, she humorously explains why certain oddly named cities in North Carolina happened to get their names. this is a great beach read! It is also a fun road book witht he kids!
