"Dry Frye" is a wonderful preacher character from a tale told from
American Folklore, more in the tall tale variety. The "picture book"
version of a telling is the one by Paul Brett Johnson. There is also a
telling in a collection from American Folklore by Richard Chase called,
GRANDFATHER'S TALES, and The Folktellers, Connie Reagen-Blake and
Barbara Freeman have it on one of their recordings--and a fine telling
it is. I have the recording in my collection at home but I am at
school. There would be other versions as well but these are among the
most well-known.
