An evening in Guanima: A treasury of folktales from the Bahamas

"In folk stories, magic drums, ghosts, obedient and disobedient children, heros, tricksters and birds that assume human form hold sway in a world where poetic justice always brings about a satisfactory ending. This is the patrimony of childhood and the stuff of 'An Evening in Guanima.' "

A tribut to Cat Island, Bahamas the author's birthplace, these stories recount the adventures of Bouki and Rabbi, Jack and B'er Debbil and other fascinating characters in wry metaphor and hilarious dialogue.

Here is a collection of Bahamiana that will fascinate the non-Bahamian and will represent a homecoming for the people in the Bahama islands.
