Description
Meet . . . the shrieking spirit of Crab Boy lost forever to a fierce Murrells Inlet marsh creature . . . an ingenious slave matching wits with his plantation owner . . . the unique inhabitants of isolated Sandy Island in the Carolina Lowcountry . . .

This brief collection (10,000 words, seven illustrations, 84 pages in paperback) of charming Gullah folktales includes one actual ghost story, "Crab Boy's Ghost," local history and folklore, and notes on Gullah history and culture.
