Caribbean Indian Folktales is an interesting, authentic and useful book. It is the first and largest collection of its kind to be written in thie original English dialect of the storytellers. Each tale is accompanied by a Standard English version which has been sensitively translated to retain the spirit and rhythm of the original narration. The book consists of a collection of 25 stories which have been passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth from India to the Caribbean over a century and a half. The tales were tape-recorded from tradition-bearers in Trinidad, Guyana, Jamaica, St Lucia and Grenada since 1980.
