The EBook Release of An Evening in
Guanima by Patricia Glinton-Meicholas
Ever heard of the Gaulin Woman? Do
you know why serpents don’t have legs? Or why a three-legged donkey talks and
flies? I can pretty much guarantee that you’ve never read about or encountered
the characters in the book An Evening in Guanima. This unique treasury
of original stories, based on the folktale themes and characters of the Bahamas
“Ol’ Story” tradition, is beautifully written by one of the leading and
award-winning writers of the beautiful islands of The Bahamas—Patricia
Glinton-Meicholas. View Patricia’s bio and accomplishments at www.guanimacreative.com.

Quite frankly, this storyteller
has an exquisite way with words. As a former teacher of languages Patricia
wrote An Evening in Guanima with the young reader in mind. While
holding to the traditions of Bahamian storytelling and folklore, she crafted
each story to teach life lessons, develop language skills and to make sure they
would bring sheer delight to the reader.
Along with its fascinating characters, An Evening in Guanima is loaded with
wry metaphor and hilarious dialogue to keep readers engaged, entertained and
amused. There are magic drums, ghosts, obedient and disobedient children,
heroes, tricksters and birds that assume human form, holding sway in a world
where poetic justice always brings about a satisfactory ending. This is the
stuff of An Evening in Guanima.
