Why Jack Tales?
Jack tales are integral to Appalachian culture, passed down orally through generations. These tales feature Jack, a poor but clever boy, who navigates adventures involving giants, kings, and animals. They offer insights into our history, values, and the human experience. Jack tales continue to captivate because they transcend time and culture, revealing universal truths through rich storytelling. Whether from European roots or global traditions, these tales speak to the human condition and the archetypes that define us.
