Autorenporträt

I was born and raised in Grenada, the Caribbean's Isle of Spice. Here, I developed the love of stories and the art of storytelling. In my youth the telling of Anansi Stories was part of an oral tradition, which did not survive the coming of age of the Caribbean Territories. Sadly, for me that tradition and many of these stories are lost forever to a new generation of Caribbean Peoples. The stories I do remember, I sometimes tell at family gatherings. One of my favourites is Anansi and the Tar baby. However, casting aside the nostalgia, my purpose for writing Anansi stories is to bring this folk-hero into the present.
