This is a good collection of Haitian folktales. I enjoyed the backstory for each tale of the teller and how she came to hear the story. Also the inclusion of melodies for the songs is very helpful.

Very good for someone who is not at all familiar with Haitian stories! It served as a really great introduction and I enjoyed learning more about the process/performance of the tales as well. That said, I don't know how this book would hold up to someone who already knew these stories!
