Clever devils, quick-witted brothers, and the lush rhythm of St. Lucia—this modern fable springs to life on every oversized page. Walcott’s celebrated stage play blends Caribbean oral tradition with sharp humor, while Stuart Hahn’s vivid illustrations carry you straight to the moonlit jungle. Pull up a chair; the storyteller has begun.
In this fast-moving drama, three brothers set out—one by one—to outsmart the Devil. Courage, cleverness, and family bonds intertwine, spotlighting colonial struggle and cultural pride. Walcott’s lively dialogue keeps the pace brisk, and, importantly, reminds us why folklore still matters today.
