Author Cynthia Rylant was inspired by the time she spent with her grandparents to write her first book When I Was Young in the Mountains.
This week we re revisiting an episode of
Inside Appalachia that features children s authors in and from our region. We ll hear Cynthia Rylant, who wrote When I Was Young In The Mountains, David Perri, author of Messy Larry, and Bil Lepp reading from his recent children s book The Princess And The Pickup Truck, and Lyn Ford, a professional storyteller and children s educator, telling a story she wrote called The Old Woman and Death. And while these stories were written for children, like many children s stories, these stories have messages for all of us, including grown-ups.
