Description: Professional Storyteller Wendy Shearer has gathered together stories from many Caribbean islands and countries drawing on oral history and written texts to bring these folk tales to life. Many stories are of West African origin kept alive through rhythm and song. These tales and their languages were blended with European and East Indian folklore with royalty heroes and spirits exacting revenge. Alongside the stories are newly collected reminiscences of migration to Britain from Caribbean countries during the Windrush years. These first - hand accounts mirror the themes found in the folk tales with love and loss magic and mystery caution and justice. Cric! Crac! Prepare to be enchanted by La Diablesse from Haiti outsmarted by the trickster Anansi or terrified by the shapeshifting Old Higue in Guyana.
