I have the Ballentine 1964 collection, which I enjoyed quite a lot. There was also a 1974 film in which the character is "Hillbilly John."

I've read all these John the Balladeer stories. You can't go wrong with Manly Wade Wellman.

I love these stories. I was lucky enough to get my copy of the '64 Ballantine edition signed by Wellman long ago. I remember the movie, too. I think it was based on the story "O Ugly Bird."

I've only read "The Desrick on Yandro", where John sees what no one is supposed to see - the "Behinder" - but I've been getting interested in reading more after reading about Wellman.

If you liked that one, you're almost certainly like the others about John.
