Snatches of Life

This manuscript is a compilation of original works. Folklore, legends, culture, fact and fi ction are all used to bring these pieces to life. Some of our folk lores and culture are refl ected in a Perfect Christmas, Ma Lotties Farewell, Old Haigue a Fly, The Called and Fraid De Dark. Guyanas beauty and natures gifts are weaved into pieces like An Outing in the Country, A Wild Ride and Life in my Neck of the Woods.

Appointment with Dr. Punch, Making my Melody, Patrick the Prankster, Repeat After Me, The Awakening. Millicent. The Young and the Wild, is based on true events.
