You ask for a story. I will tell you one, fact for fact and true
for true." So begins ""Crook-Neck Dick,"" one of twenty-three
stories in this beguiling collection of Charleston lore. Derived
from African American legends, these fables have entertained
generations of Charlestonians with sheer storytelling magic. To
delight of folklorists, students of Charleston history, and all
those who love a good ghost story, this treasure features photos of
the storytellers who shared these remarkable stories with John
Bennett. Julia Eichelberger, the Marybelle Higgins Howe Professor
of Southern Literature and an executive board member of the Center
for Study of Slavery at the College of Charleston in South
Carolina, provides a foreword.
