Overview

Beware the Shrieking Droll !

Meet the restless spirit of a young boy lost forever to a fierce marsh creature. Now he haunts the maze of Murrells Inlet marshes as a “droll,” the restless ghost of a child who has died an unnatural death.

Then enjoy the antics of friendlier inhabitants of nearby Waccamaw swamp: Brother Frog, Brother Rabbit, and Brother Gator, each trying to outwit the other.

This selection of four charming Gullah folktales (5,000 words, five illustrations—approximately 20 pages if it were a paperback) comes from Lynn Michelsohn’s longer work, “Tales from Brookgreen”: stories of ghosts and lovers, historical characters and mysterious visitors in the South Carolina Lowcountry.

About the Author

Lynn Michelsohn, a tenth generation Carolinian, engages readers in characters and folkways unique to the Carolina Lowcountry in her charming retelling of these sometimes-eerie, sometimes-sad, sometimes-humorous tales from Brookgreen Gardens, the popular tourist attraction near Myrtle Beach.
