The Snake King of the Kalinago (Paperback)

This delightful children's book - the first to be written by local children in Dominica - tells the story of the myth of the Kalinago snake. The Kalinago people were the island's first inhabitants but gradually lost their land to colonization. Now they live by the sea in a mountainous and rain forested part of the islands known as the Kalinago Territory. This is where, according to the myth, a great snake, known in our story as Bakwa, came out of the sea, slithered on to the land - the rocks are the marks his belly left - and went up to his cave. He will stay there sleeping, as you will read in our story, until the world is at peace again. Ages 7 and up.
