Do you know how the dog got its cold nose? Or why the crab has a flat back? How the wild animals came to the earth, and how the Caribbean got its name? If the answer to these questions is "no," then you will be delighted to find out about these and other matters in this exciting collection of fables from the Caribbean, collected and narrated by Dorothy St. Aubyn. When the sun goes down and the cackling fowls flutter up into the guava tree to settle down for the night, that is the time when "Old Creole," the morocoy, and his friends tell stories to each other. They tell of the legends of the old folk in the misty mountains and the endless jungles, they tell of the tricks that the animals play on each other in the clearings of the forest, and they tell of the encounters of spirits, men, and animals on the sandy beaches. So ruffle your feathers, fly up into the tree, and listen with wonder to these fables from the Caribbean!

The Caribbean islands have a vibrant oral folklore. In Jamaica, the clever spider Anansi, who outsmarts stronger animals, is a symbol of triumph by the weak over the powerful. The fables of the foolish Juan Bobo, who tries to bring milk home in a burlap bag, illustrate facets of traditional Puerto Rican life. Conflict over status, identity and power is a recurring theme--in a story from Trinidad, a young bull, raised by his mother in secret, challenges his tyrannical father who has killed all the other males in the herd. One in a series of folklore reference guides by the author, this volume shares summaries of 438 tales--some in danger of disappearing--retold in English and Creole from West African, European, and slave indigenous cultures in 24 countries and territories. Tales are grouped in themed sections with a detailed subject index and extensive links to online sources.

Although the Islands of the Caribbean are comprised of many different cultures, the people of the Islands respect each other’s differences and embrace their similarities. Caribbean Stories celebrates the wide diversity of the Islands, combining historical background and fiction for a fascinating read that will both educate and entertain. The book begins in 1692 with James and Hazel, who have survived a devastating earthquake and must work together to run a sugar plantation. They will face opposition from the British Empire and surmount personal tragedy, hardship—even encounters with pirates—to keep their dreams alive. From the Bahamas to Trinidad and Belize to Barbados and Cuba to Jamaica, this sweeping family saga is as captivating as the Caribbean itself.
