For many years Green traveled up and down his native Cape Fear River Valley in North Carolina, collecting the folklore of the people of the valley--noting down their speech, beliefs, customs, anecdotes, ballads, epitaphs, legends, proverbs, stories, superstitions, games, folk songs, and the like. The selections from this rich harvest of human laughter and tears represent Green at his best.

With the use of song, music, poetry, dance, pantomime, and story-line, Green has created a colorful symphonic drama, presented Thomas Jefferson's single-handed triumph over the dissension and discouragement of his fellow Americans to keep alive their ideal of liberty. It is an absorbing story punctuated with high comedy.

With easy informality the author sets down his thoughts on education, art, and life in the war-torn world of 1943. Each chapter is complete in itself, but all are built on a central theme. The essence of the theme is that our training and our ideals have become mechanical and sterile, that the simple and perennial values of life are in danger of being forgotten.
