Run Big 'Fraid...and other village stories, by Easton Lee, are stories about real people as they lived their lives in a remote Jamaican setting. Some are sad and may perhaps evoke a tear, others amusing, making you laugh. One or two little risqué, still others make you think.

Many have much to teach us about ourselves and our people in those times of our grand and great-grandparents, how they survived at a time when there were none of the modern amenities and conveniences we now take for granted.

You may learn something of our ancestral lore and ancient wisdom, much of which we have lost, or discarded, or forgotten in our embracing of alien cultures. These are certainly glimpses of what life was like for our people not so long ago. A BalaPress book.
