Foxfire books

Okay kiddo, let me tell you about Foxfire books. These books are like a big treasure trove of knowledge about old-timey ways of living, farming, crafting, and cooking.

A long time ago, some people who lived in the Appalachian Mountains in the southeastern part of the United States decided they wanted to preserve the traditional customs and knowledge of their ancestors. They started a magazine called The Foxfire Magazine to collect and share stories and wisdom from their community.

Then, they decided to turn those magazine articles into books - the Foxfire books - so that more people could learn about their way of life. The books are filled with stories and interviews from people who lived in the mountains a long time ago, and they cover topics like blacksmithing, preserving food, building log cabins, and more.

So if you ever want to learn how people used to make things without fancy machines, or how they used to grow their own food, or how they used to entertain themselves without video games, the Foxfire books are a great place to start!
