Aunt Arie: A Foxfire Portrait

"Although Aunt Arie died in 1978, at the age of 92, her indomitable spirit is captured forever here in the moving text and pictures." (Atlanta Journal-Constitution) Here is a loving portrait of a fondly-remembered friend. This book is not just about Arie Carpenter, it is Aunt Arie. In her own words, she discusses everything from planting, harvesting, and cooking to her thoughts about religion and her feelings about living alone. Testimonials from many who knew her supplement the interviews and wealth of photographs gathered by the Foxfire students.
