Negro myths from the Georgia coast, told in the vernacular
Charles Colcock Jones
Along the Georgia coast, storytellers explained why the alligator never sleeps far from the riverbank and how the terrapin outfoxed the deer. Charles Colcock Jones recorded these coastal animal fables as they were told, in the vernacular of the sea islands. A collection of trickster tales rooted in Gullah folklore. Listen to the wisdom of Buh Rabbit and his neighbors.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
