Tackling everything from New Orleans's Café du Monde and the Gee's Bend quilts to Martin Luther King Jr. and the term y'all, DiBenedetto (editor, Garden & Gun magazine) and contributing essayists blend fact (Graceland is the 17,000 square foot home where Elvis Presley lived) with opinion ("The Southern accent is one of our nation's greatest treasures") in this light read. Coverage is broad, including iconic restaurants, food trendsetters, authors, musicians, sports figures, cities, historic events, and much more. Black-and-white images by illustrator and graphic designer David Bates are sprinkled throughout. VERDICT A delightful way to pick up Southern trivia while sipping on a glass of sweet tea. © Copyright 2017. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
