Indian Folk Tales of the Caribbean: A First Collection, Salt and Roti
Kenneth Vidia Parmasad
Folk tales from India were first introduced into the Caribbean by Indian indentured labourers who, between 1838 and 1917, were brought to work on the sugar plantations. Written in a simple style, with warmth and humour, the folk tales presented in this collection are lively and fresh, appealing to children of all ages. They evoke the image of the grandmother sitting in the hammock at dusk, surrounded by children, who caught in the magic of the tale. raise the never-ending refrain: tell me more.
