The Jack tales came to us from the British Isles where they have been told as far back as the 13th century. They are about a character named Jack who had amusingly fantastic adventures. They were brought to the Appalachian Mountains when the Europeans began to settle here. The stories changed over time reflecting the environment and cultural traditions that began to emerge among the mountain people. Today we have a unique collection of stories know as the Appalachian Jack tales. They reflect European, African, and Native American voices that have merged together to form these entertaining and enlightening stories about that ageless trickster, Jack. Appropriate for any age, these stories take the listener into Jack's world of fantastic adventures where the impossible is possible and Jack always prevails.
