Well, according to a youngster from West Virginia, the folktales found in this book are just that. Selected from the repertoire of master storyteller Joe McHugh and wonderfully illustrated by his wife Paula McHugh, these simple yarns of giants and wizards and ghostly visitations represent oral literature at its very best. Faithfully handed down from one generation to the next, they are the currency of the imagination that help us better understand the mysterious and magical journey of life.

Inside Better Than Money, Tales to Treasure for a Lifetime, you will meet Zola Hutchinson and her ‘slappy-jack,” a troublemaking old woman and the wizard who puts her straight, an Irish storyteller who needs a new story to tell, Willie, the horse-trader - “the wickedest man who ever was,” an orphan boy with a unique talent, the greedy General who makes an unwise bargain, lazy Jack and his “granddaddy” of cornstalks, a worried father and a supernatural white deer, an old-time country doctor out on a stormy winter’s night on an errand of mercy, and a Civil War soldier unjustly accused of murder.
