Earlier this week I mentioned Philip Sherlock's West Indian Folktales, so I wanted to return to him today and share some two of his books here:
Here are links to the stories in these two books:
Iguana's Tail: The Meeting /
Green Parrot's Story /
Little Capuchin Monkey's Story /
Brown Owl's Story /
Chimpanzee's Story /
Firefly's Story /
Armadillo's Story
It has illustrations by Gioia Fiammenghi:
Ears and Tails: Brown Owl Plans a Party /
Riddles One, Two, Three /
Ears and Tails and Common Sense /
Big for Me, Little for You /
Forty Men I See, Forty Men I Do Not See /
Riddle Me Riddle, Riddle Me Ree /
Horns for a Rabbit /
Lizard and a Ring of Gold /
The Grass-Cutting Races
This book has illustrations by Aliki (Brandenburg):
Philip Sherlock, born in Jamaica in 1902, was an important educator and writer; you can find out more about him here: Philip Manderson Sherlock. He also collected some Anansi stories, so I'll share those next time too!
