Interesting article on Kathryn Tucker Windham from the Birmingham News.

Encounters: Photographs By Kathryn Tucker Windham. Jennifer Hunt Gallery. Through Sept. 20.

For those that do not know, Kathryn Tucker Windham is from the Black Belt near Thomasville, Alabama. She's famous for her storytelling abilities--I remember going to see her frequently in Selma, Alabama at their annual Storytelling Festival.  What fun we had.

She recently celebrated her 90th birthday and really is an Alabama icon. Her stories--ghost stories in particular, but--but many, many stories that simply celebrate Alabama's deep south--are wonderful. Mama read many of them to me, and I have a nice collection of books by Ms. Windham.  You can find many of them by clicking the link below!
