Two true stories from Anguilla’s fishing heritage

The second volume in Avenella K. Griffith’s Sandy Ground Tales series brings together two stories rooted in real people and events in Sandy Ground, Anguilla. “Fisher Man” concerns the cessation of fishing in the island’s north, while “Fisher of Man” recounts the rescue of a fisherman lost at sea. Together, the stories introduce aspects of Anguillian fishing culture and heritage through specific episodes of community life. The book is described as a keepsake, pairing its accounts with colourful illustrations.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children and families interested in Caribbean island life and heritage.

Book overview

Sandy Ground Tales is a book series based upon real life people, businesses, events and ways of life in Sandy Ground, Anguilla.

 

The second book of the Series called Fisher Men, contains two separate true stories, entitled Fisher Man and Fisher of Man. Respectively, the stories tell of the shattering of a dark time in Anguilla when there was the cessation of fishing in the North, and of the amazing rescue of a fisher man lost at sea. This book sweetly injects Anguilla's rich fishing culture directly into one's heart.

 

Colourfully animated and intriguingly delivered, Sandy Ground Tales can be described as an adult, child-loving, non-fairytale Caribbean version of "The Lady Bird Series'.

It is a beautiful keepsake, capturing fascinating Anguillian heritage.
