Abstract:
In the Appalachians of North Carolina, a child was trained, sustained, and entertained through the folklore of childhood. In the cradle they were comforted by regional lullabies, and on the parents' knees, by rhythmical verse. Later on, communal participation involved the young in folk games, dances, riddle solving, ballad singing, superstitions, and cures for childhood afflictions.
