It has been out of print and largely unavailable until now. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJones saw the stories as a coastal variation of Joel Chandler Harris's inland dialect tales and sought to preserve their unique language and character. Through Jones' rendering of the sound and syntax of nineteenth-century Gullah, the lively stories describe the adventures and mishaps of such characters as \"Buh Rabbit,\" \"Buh Ban-Yad Rooster,\" and other animals. The tales range from the humorous to the instructional and include stories of the \"sperits,\" Daddy Jupiter's \"vision,\" a dying bullfrog's last wish, and others about how \"buh rabbit gained sense\" and \"why the turkey buzzard won't eat crabs.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Colcock Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/27\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.98h x 6.46w x 0.68d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820322162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRevised Edition\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"University of Georgia Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42714092142729,"sku":"9780820322162","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_3f8c055c-8e27-4f72-9196-96d19b71e539.jpg?v=1719634467","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/gullah-folktales-from-the-georgia-coast-9780820322162","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
