Hardheaded Little Muddy Waters gets into everything and does everything that he's told not to do. His grandmother tries to teach him Gullah traditions and beliefs to show him right from wrong. But Little Muddy Waters only laughs at her ways. By and by, however, he learns a lesson he'll never forget! Based on the tales of "Raw Head and Bloody Bones" and "Little Eight John," this captivating retold folk tale is a must-read for children of all ages.

Reminiscences of Sea Island Heritage: Legacy of Freedmen on St Helena Island

by Ronald Daise
Published by Sandlapper Publishing Company

This intimate look at Gullah culture and history documents the lifestyles, customs, superstitions and folklore of St. Helena Island, called from the memories of a proud group of Sea Island blacks. The history of these first freedmen and their descendants is a colorful, provocative story, told to a great extent in their own words and illustrated with photographs taken on the island during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The old tales, spirituals and beliefs, many of which will soon be forgotten, as third and fourth generation islanders identify less and less with their heritage, are preserved here by a native islander and presented with a dash of Sea Island flavor.
