About this title

Synopsis:

Still's delightful Appalachian retelling of "Jack and the Beanstalk," with illustrations by Margot Tomes, was the New York Times Book Review Judges' Choice for Best Illustrated Children's Book when it first appeared in 1977. This reprint makes available an Appalachian rendition of a beloved children's classic to a new generation of readers.

From Publishers Weekly:

"Fee, fie, chew tobacco,/ I smell the toes of a tadwhacker," snorts the giant in the newly reissued Jack and the Wonder Beans by James Still, with two-color illustrations by Margot Tomes. First published in 1977, this down-home retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk is set in Appalachia. (Univ. Press of Kentucky, $14.95 ISBN 0-8131-1735-6 Mar.)
