The book is a first-hand
view of Mose from the days when I chaperoned him and his wife to the Corcoran exhibit through his rise to national recognition
in the folk art world. Folk art scholar Regenia Perry has contributed a preface on the significance and appeal of Tolliver's
work. Lee Kogan, curator of The American Folk Art Museum in New York, has also written a wonderful introduction. I have included
an essay along with stories and anecdotes from my close friendship with Mose dating back to I've presented some of the finest
vintage pieces in my collection in an A to Z format of one-of -a- kind Mose titles (J is for Jimma Jamma Girl-She does
the wild dance). These high quality reproductions are complimented by multiple photographs of Mose at home with his family
and working on his art.

- "The photographs and the art work offer
powerful images, touching the
Souths natural soul. Its strength rests in the successful revelation of
African-Americans
non-academic living art tradition. Its a must for any
library daring to blend art school painters with untrained
artistic genius."
Morris Dees , Founder Southern Poverty Law Center
