More Laughter in Appalachia (American Storytelling)

Laughter in Appalachia, the first humor book by Loyal Jones and Billy Edd Wheeler, became a huge hit—so big that it’s now in its twelfth printing. That kind of success shows just how important laughter is in our lives, and how good these two are at finding stories that make people smile.

More Laughter in Appalachia is their fourth collection of funny tales from the Southern mountains, and it might be their silliest and most wide‑ranging book yet. It’s filled with jokes, short stories, poems, riddles, and even songs. You’ll also find some surprising treasures, like a funny old‑time sermon, a playful political speech from long ago, and even a comical arrest warrant that shows just how creative mountain humor can be.
