“Takes the reader into shaded byways of fascinating obscurity or simply personal aspects of the region’s writers and writing.

A welcome addition to the ever-lengthening shelf of worthwhile works about the state’s rich literary heritage.” — North Carolina Literary Review

“Not just a guidebook but a wealth of information, images, book and article excerpts, the Literary Trails of the North Carolina Mountains: A Guidebook, written by Georgann Eubanks, would be worth reading even if you weren’t traveling.” — Home & Away Magazine
