Caribbean children today are growing up in a world of television fast food and `ready-mades' - a world dramatically different from that of their grandparents. This delightful collection of stories, remembrances, myths, legends and traditional practices vividly brings to life the rich heritage of `olden times' much of which is unfamiliar to today's youth. The selections speak of reverence for old traditions, the importance of good manners, neighbourliness and respect for the aged, for parents and those in authority. This book will bring knowledge and pleasure to adults and children alike and in the process, help to preserve some of that rich heritage for them and the generations yet unborn.
