Title: Trinidad folklore/Fairy Tales
Post by: trinindian on December 10, 2010, 08:42:45 AM
Does anyone know of a good collection of Folklore from backhome? I am looking for one as a Christmas gift.
Suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.

Thanks and Happy Holidays to all.

Not exclusively folklore, but from what I remember there are some good ones in here:

Bought the first one during my last visit home, was hoping for more tales not a history lesson. Is the second any good.
Thanks

Here are some 5 tales that were written by June Lee-Sing, a former resident of Moruga.  You can't buy these but you can print them from this link that was originally posted on the forum over two years ago.
