About This Book
A collected anthology of oral myths, legends, and animal tales gathered in the West Indies and the Guyana region, drawn chiefly from indigenous and Afro-descendant traditions. It assembles cosmogonies and origin stories, wonder-tales and trickster fables in organized rubrics, pairs narratives with comparative commentary and a selective literature overview, and presents decorative illustrations that echo the symbolic and animal-centered storytelling central to the traditions.
