Before and After Freedom: Lowcountry Narratives and Folklore Nancy Rhyne

A new collection by celebrated Southern writer Nancy Rhyne featuring wonderfully authentic Lowcountry folkloreâ?"stories passed down from generation to generation, and very much influenced by the oral tradition of slaves and their descendants.

From former slaves to Charleston, South Carolina's social elite and the stateâ??s first governors, this is a diverse collection of tales, but all of them reveal a character and nature that is true to the South Carolina Lowcountry.
