Early Appalachian communities developed a strong oral tradition. From this sprang many folktales that combine core values with bodacious humor. Old Dry Frye is one of the classics still recounted at storytelling festivals today. A must! Old Dry Frye will help viewers develop an appreciation of folktales as a literary genre and a love for the oral tradition. Academics will also benefit as a study of the short story and regional literature, as well as an excellent production for film studies students. Digitally Remastered MMIX
