Tales from the Caribbean is a vibrant, culturally rich collection of myths, legends, and folktales drawn from across the Caribbean's many islands and coastal traditions. Curated and carefully retold by a lifelong storyteller and writer of magical and speculative fiction, this book brings together voices from rainforests, mangroves, hills, and harbours-from Dominica to Jamaica, Haiti to Cuba, Trinidad to Saint Lucia.
These stories reflect the region's layered heritage-Indigenous, African, European, and beyond-offering everything from trickster tales and ghost stories to creation myths and spiritual legends. With sensitivity and respect, the author reinterprets historical sources and oral traditions, adding cultural context while preserving the original voices wherever possible.
More than a collection of folktales, Tales from the Caribbean is an act of cultural preservation and celebration-a way of remembering, resisting, and reconnecting with the magic, memory, and resilience woven through the Caribbean's storytelling legacy.
