The story of the iconic MoonPie provides the framework for this
unusual historical biography of the South and its most revered
snack. Developed in 1917 in response to coal miners' request for a
filling - yet portable - snack, the MoonPie quickly became a
favourite treat countrywide, with particular appeal in the South.
This clever narrative chronicles the long and arduous path the
lunar confection has travelled during the past 75 years - including
bouts with economic depression, war, recessions, conglomerate
competition, and changing generational tastes -- and its enduring
popularity almost a century later.
