In 1888, Charles Colcock Jones Jr. published the first collection of folk narratives from the Gullah-speaking people of the South Atlantic coast, tales he heard black servants exchange on his family's rice and cotton plantation. It has been out of print and largely unavailable until now.

Jones saw the stories as a coastal variation of Joel Chandler Harris's inland dialect tales and sought to preserve their unique language and character. Through Jones' rendering of the sound and syntax of nineteenth-century Gullah, the lively stories describe the adventures and mishaps of such characters as "Buh Rabbit," "Buh Ban-Yad Rooster," and other animals. The tales range from the humorous to the instructional and include stories of the "sperits," Daddy Jupiter's "vision," a dying bullfrog's last wish, and others about how "buh rabbit gained sense" and "why the turkey buzzard won't eat crabs."

Our Dog Loved These To Death
Style: 5 pcs Crinkle Plush Dog Toy
Our dog is The Toy Destroyer. These came up in a search for "heavy duty" and "durable" dog chew toys. They're nicely made, actually pretty, no stuffing to fly around the house. She loved them. Each one had to be shaken, "killed" and chewed. Only problem is they are lightweight - she got them ripped open quickly. Fortunately, she still enjoyed trotting them around and shaking them after she'd turned them into rags.

Good toy for dogs
Size: Large Size 3, Color: White-Blue
Bought this for our husky. Thought it would be bigger but it’s a good size for her. She has not managed to tear it apart after having it for a few months.

Puppy proof!
Size: Large Size 3, Color: White-Blue
Purchased the blue ball. Puppy loves to carry and shake the ball with the strapes in her mouth. Lots of bite marks but hasnt popped it. We bought 2. She plays in her fenced in yard with them. Fun to throw and kick around.

Great Toy For Playful Pup
Size: Medium Size 2, Color: White-Blue
We have purchased three of these! Our dog is obsessed with them and they keep her very entertained. The strap is a great tool for her to easily pick up the ball.
