An Evening in Guanima: A Treasury of Folktales from The Bahamas

By Patricia Glinton-Meicholas

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

Highly entertaining! I also found the text to be very funny and immersive in Bahamian culture. I enjoyed the literary journey. Looking forward to read more from this author.

Great Bahamian Literature. I wish there was more. Truly, I do.
