These are stories inspired principally by oral elaborations heard by the author during his formative years in the United States Virgin Islands.  Some are based on traditions, customs, and legends, in essence on our culture. Others have their roots in the history of our islands.  All were subjected to the scrutiny of the author’s imagination.
