Summary

The Hero of Fern Gully delivers a fascinating glimpse of Jamaican island life-past and present in 15 charming short stories. You will be transported to historic Fern Gully, in the parish of St. Ann, and the leafy, meandering hills that shoulder Lovers Leap in Southfield, St. Elizabeth. You will celebrate Christmas in the rustic countryside of Woodlands: feel Mattie's struggles in her quest to build her dream home, be drawn to the treats, the delights of Miss Bailey's Cold Supper Shop, and see tourists through the eyes of an innkeeper. 

Adults and teens will enjoy listening to this treasure trove of stories, celebrating ordinary happenings around ordinary people with an extraordinary legacy.
