CLAIRE University Press of Florida, 2006 (Re)defining "cracker" identity This is an interesting study of cracker culture in Florida. In many parts of the South, and among many Floridians, the name "cracker" carries with it a lot of negative connotations. Within the past 30 years, however, a certain "Florida Cracker Chic" has emerged, and in many communities being cracker is now seen in a much more positive light. Dana Ste.Clair provides a good historical sketch of ...             Animal Crackers: A Delectable Collection of Pictures, Poems, and Lullabies for the Very Young7 reviews Jane Dyer Little, Brown Young Readers, 1996 A Superb Collection of Nursery Rhymes Intricate details and warm tones fill the illustrations throughout this superb collection of sixty-two nursery rhymes.

She grabs you, her reader, by the hand and transports you to her South -- a South where Gone with the Wind is just another goofy movie starring a British actress, a South where Faulkner defied and defined a culture, a South where loggers are systematically erasing the long-leaf pines that ...             Cracker Culture: Celtic Ways in the Old South21 reviews Grady McWhiney University Alabama Press, 1989 Cracker Culture - A Must Read Southern History Book! Although I highly recommend this book to anyone intested in understanding the culture of the American South, it is especially indispensable to Southerners seeking to understand why their ancestors did the things they did.

There's a reason for that: it is one of the most compulsively readable novels I have encountered, a novel that I picked up one Saturday afternoon and read all the way to the end in a single sitting. The novel concerns Cassie Barrett, a ...             The Illustrated Christmas Cracker1 review John Julius Norwich, Quentin Blake Transworld Publishers, 2002 A CLASSIC !!
