Description

Riveting stories revealing deep insights into the character and culture of Caribbean people by a well-known Barbadian author. It So Happens - brings together the stories written in Standard English. The conversations of the characters are, however, authentic and retain the 'natural language' - the dialect or Barbadian vernacular. "He uses the vernacular as one should apply seasoning to flying fish ... discretely to bring out taste ... and not inordinately to spoil the enjoyment of the diner...", says one reviewer. These stories will delight lovers of 'tall tales', students of English Literature, and teachers of English as a second or foreign language.
