The Southern Appalachian Mountain trickster is Jack, whom readers may know from traditional stories like \"Jack in the Giant's Newground\" and \"Jack and the Bean Tree.\"\u003cbr\u003e The stories in Trickster Jack, which focus on the shenanigans of Jack and his older brothers, are actually tall tales emerging from Reid Gilbert's tricky imagination. Set in the Southern Appalachians around the end of the nineteenth century, these tales describe actual activities of the time, such as making a wooden wagon with white oak rounds for wheels, fetching water from wells with windlasses, and using outdoor outhouses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrickster Jack introduces those readers from outside the Appalachians to some of the ways and manners of that region, while reacquainting Appalachians themselves with their own heritage.
