More About This Book

Overview

Meet . . .
~ the shrieking spirit of Crab Boy lost forever to a fierce marsh creature . . .
~ an ingenious slave matching wits with his plantation owner . . .
~ the unique inhabitants of isolated Sandy Island in the Carolina Lowcountry . . .

These are the “ghosts” of African-American Gullah culture once so alive along the South Carolina coast.

These selections (10,000 words, four illustrations - approximately 40 pages if it were a paperback) of charming Gullah stories and folktales, including one actual ghost story, as well as observations on Gullah history and culture, comes from Lynn Michelsohn’s longer work, “Tales from Brookgreen,” stories of ghosts, romantic heroines, historical characters, and mysterious visitors in the South Carolina Lowcountry.

    Living in South Carolina myself, it was very interesting to read

    Living in South Carolina myself, it was very interesting to read Gullah Ghosts Stories and Folktales. This book was very well written and the stories kept the reader interested. I am looking forward to reading Lynn Mitchelsohn's Tales from Brookgreen.
