Animal tales and fables from the rice fields and sea islands of Georgia, recorded in the Gullah speech of the coast. Buh Rabbit outwits Buh Wolf with the tar baby, Buh Alligator learns to stay near the river bank, Buh Cooter fools Buh Deer, and the Devil comes courting, in stories that differ markedly from those of inland Georgia.
An important early record of Gullah folklore, though its white collector’s framing uses the condescending language of 1888. Download the free EPUB.
