Ghost Dogs of the SouthAward winning husband and wife folklorists Randy Russell and Janet Barnett have gone to the dogs. Digging deeply through the rich field of Southern folklore, the authors have discovered that a dog's devotion to its human does not always end at the grave. Dogs can be as peculiar as people. Their relationship with humans is complex. In story after story from Southern homes, there is strong evidence that this relationship can extend beyond death. Do dogs

Award-winning husband-and-wife folklorists Randy Russell and Janet Barnett have gone to the dogs. Digging deeply through the rich field of Southern folklore, the authors have discovered that a dog's devotion to its human does not always end at the grave. Dogs can be as peculiar as people. Their relationship with humans is complex. In story after story from Southern homes, there is strong evidence that this relationship can extend beyond death. Do dogs return from the other side to comfort and aid their human companions? You bet your buried bones they do. In Ghost Dogs of the South, you'll meet the following: A stray dog that warns Kentucky coal miners of impending disaster; a literary critic of a dog with the gift of speech; a dog-snatching mermaid on the Mississippi River; a Tennessee dog that returns year after year to go trick-or-treating; a pair of Georgia hounds that stumble upon an enchanted woods; a girl whose pain is eased by the ghost of a butterfly dog. Dog ghosts (dogs that have become ghosts), ghost dogs (humans who return as ghosts in the shape of dogs), dogs that see ghosts, dogs that are afraid of ghosts--all make an appearance in these twenty stories that illuminate the shadow side of man's best friend.

For several years, folklorists Randy Russell and Janet Barnett have taught a course about Southern folklore at the North Carolina Center for Advancement of Teaching in Cullowhee, North Carolina. Russell is also the author of several mysteries, including Edgar Award nominee Hot Wire.They live in Asheville, North Carolina.

"Alternately eerie, funny, tragic and sentimental . . . These tales will undoubtedly delight dog lovers and will not fail to charm even the most dour skeptics of supernatural phenomena." --Publishers Weekly

Very lightweight but good everyday
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
These are great for everyday use. I use them under bowls when I microwave, to collect pieces of food that I’m going to throw away while I’m cooking. Good enough for toast or a microwaved muffin. They are lightweight and not meant for heavy amounts of food.

Consistent quality
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
This is the first time I’ve ordered this online and it is exactly what we have been using for years. We always use a plastic support and the plates themselves are flimsy. Good value. And easy to use. But I wouldn’t trust it to NOT leak.

Great non-toxic option for big families!
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
I purchased these several times. We have a big family and paper plates are just part of our norm right now. I was looking for something that doesn't have forever chemicals lining the plates. These are perfect. You can't carry around the plate. These are for putting on the table and putting food on them :) But that's what we needed them for !
