Description
History, Mystery, and Romance in the South Carolina Lowcountry!
~ A haunted necklace . . .
~ A trickster rabbit . . .
~ An ingenious slave . . .
~ A shrieking droll . . .
~ A fiancé returned from the dead . . .
. . . all come to life in Lynn Michelsohn's charming collection of gentle ghost stories and colorful folklore from the South Carolina coast.
Enjoy these sometimes-eerie, sometimes-sad, sometimes-humorous folktales. Each relates to specific locations and events from the four historic rice plantations that make up Brookgreen Gardens—South Carolina's popular tourist attraction near Myrtle Beach. Many of these tales come out of the rich Gullah culture that once flourished along this coast.
Enrich your visit to the Carolina Lowcountry, whether you are a tourist, an armchair traveler, or a devotee of ghost stories and folklore.
Encounter the Lowcountry's unique characters and folkways while you savor Tales from Brookgreen, as retold by this tenth generation Carolinian.
