ISLAND SURPRISE: A BAHAMIAN ADVENTURE

ASPIRING YOUNG AUTHOR FROM WALES U.K.

 

Six-year-old River from Wales, U.K., was so inspired by “Island Surprise: A Bahamian Adventure” by Fay Knowles that she decided to write a book herself! Here she is “dictating” to her father what to type.

Shortly after its release, "Island Surprise" was Ranked in Amazon's Top 100 Best Sellers in Elementary School books in Australia! It's a heart-warming adventure story about family, courage and resilience.

This beautifully illustrated chapter book is primarily suitable for ages 5 to 10, but it may also be enjoyed by younger or older readers who are captivated by imaginative stories. Two young Bahamian brothers face flight issues, a storm, and a hazardous journey on their way to surprise their grandparents on Coco Plum Island. Action packed, children will love and learn from this fun story.

"BROWN GIRL IN THE RING" - A POPULAR FAVOURITE IN THE BAHAMAS

 

"Brown Girl in The Ring" is a ring play song originating many years ago in Jamaica. Jamaican poet, folklorist, actress, writer and singer Louise Bennett-Coverley recorded “Brown Girl in The Ring” in 1957 on an album of Children’s Jamaican Songs and Games, which was re-released by Smithsonian Folkways in 2007 (Source: Zingzangwallawalla). Bahamian entertainer and singer Tony McKay ("Exuma The Obeah Man") from Cat Island, Bahamas, sang and recorded this song in 1972.

Acoustic cover by guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Erskine Knowles from The Bahamas. Background "chorus" by Erskine’s wife Fay. Erskine played and sang this song over many years at parties. Women and girls would form a ring and dance. Another woman would dance in the middle of the ring. Then they would take turns dancing in the middle.
