Ray Cunningham

Ray Cunningham was born in a hundred-year-old log cabin in Alabama, where most folks were "short on book learning." Desiring to save his native dialect, Ray traveled extensively, cataloging the terms and phrases of his youth. His other books include Simpler Times and If You Don't Know It's Bad, It Isn't.
