Paul Green (1894-1981) grew up on a cotton farm in Lillington, North Carolina, where from a young age he learned the value of hard physical labor and the importance and beauty of literature and music.
During his long lifetime he never strayed far from his people nor far from his roots. Many of his writings, his novels, short stories, and his beloved Wordbook, reflect his love and reverence for all people and all life.
