Notes:

"Published in 1946 by The Viking Press, Inc. Sixteenth printing, March 1966."

"I tried to make selections that would give a general panorama of life in Faulkner's county, decade by decade ... With regret for a few good stories that had to be put aside, I included nothing unless it had some bearing on the Mississippi background (or on Faulkner's Mississippi characters in other backgrounds) ..."--Preface.
