Description: Folk-Lore of the Sea Islands, South Carolina. Memoirs of the American Folk-Lore Society Volume XVI By Elsie Clewe Parsons Published: American Folk-Lore Society, Cambridge, MA, 1923 219 pp. Hardcover in original binding. Not Ex-Lib. Includes list of informants and writers, bibliography, riddles, toasts, game songs, and a discussion of folk ways. An important work detailing folklore in various forms from the African American residents of the islands east of Port Royal and North of Hilton Head on the Carolina coast. Interestingly, because the author stayed with African American families during her visit, she gained much greater access to their stories. Many of the tales are recorded in dialect, but not all. Very Good. No dust jacket issued. I've done my best to describe the book, but if you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail.
