Interesting book but far too short I got this on my first trip to South Carolina, back in... I think it was '97? God, I was so young. Anyway, it's an interesting little collection of folk tales and legends from the Carolinas. They were obviously not something I'd come into contact with before, so I can't answer as to whether or not it's a representative collection of the kinds of stories that were passed down in that region, but I thought it was interesting. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
With her tape recorder in hand, the author interviewed dozens of Low Country people, finding that almost every person had a story to tell. She sought out everyone from millionaires to the humblest of coastal people. From their narratives she has fashioned a collection of stories steeped in the history and character of the Low Country. Some of the tales in this collection are humorous, some mysterious. Others are positively eerie. There are stories of killer hurricanes, bizarre voodoo practices and inexplicable happenings. Effortlessly, the author takes us from a gorgeous plantation estate of the 1850s to an overgrown and forbidding cemetery in 1979. And she never fails to keep our attention on this somewhat alien but fascinating world--a world peopled with witch doctors, ghosts, cruel overseers, slaves and world-famous personalities.
