This is a landmark book. The joyful southernisms suffused throughout allow the essential vitality of the authors’ playful natures to transcend what might otherwise be dull, pedantic, linear prose that would miscarry the essence of play itself. (For those inexperienced with Southern idioms, there is a glossary to get you through.)
Even though I have been studying play behaviors and play science for most of my life, don’t just take my word for it.
