Two generations of Alabamians will welcome the reappearance of this classic: those who loved it when it was published to national acclaim in 1948 and who have missed it during the many years it has been out of print, and those who have enjoyed Viola Goode Liddell’s follow-up success, A Place of Springs, and eagerly seek more from her pen.

“A genuine picture of Southern life, drawn with affection and a sense of truth.” -- Birmingham News

“Entertainingly written, lively and frank; Mrs. Liddell gives us the South’s pride and courage, its friendliness, loyalty and devotion to principle, which is the South at its best. She gives something too of the South’s stubbornness and extreme individualism, of its violence and impulsiveness.” – New York Times

“A complete and detailed picture of a way of life essentially American and at the same time very Deep Southern, With a Southern Accent has undeniable historical and social importance and interest.” – Saturday Review
