Praise for The Prince of Frogtown. Bragg crafts flowing sentences that vividly describe the southern Appalachian landscape and ways of life both old and ne. .His father’s story walks the line between humorous and heartbreaking.

However, let me be quick to point out that the fact that my father was also an alcoholic may have colored some of my perception, yet, having said that, I still have concerns about the book.
