Description

In folk stories, magic drums, ghosts, obedient and disobedient children, heroes, tricksters and birds that assume human form hold sway in a world where poetic justice always brings about a satisfactory ending. This is the stuff of An Evening in Guanima. A collection of Bahamian folktales that will fascinate children with characters such as Bouki & Rabbi, Jack & B'er Debbil, and other characters, these tales are loaded wry metaphors and hilarious dialogue to keep readers entertained and immersed in island culture.
