Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cudelia Brown / Cordelia Brown
"Cudelia Brown" seems an unlikely subject to be found in the Ananci stories. Two major works: Martha Warren Beckwith, 1924, Jamaica Ananci Stories, contains 149 Ananci stories, with copious notes. This work is on line- Ananci Stories Even better version: Martha Warren Beckwith, 1924, Jamaica Ananci Stories with music recorded in the field by Helen Roberts, American Folk-Lore Society, Memoirs, Vol. XVII, 1924. Online- http://www.aren.org/prison/documents/african/14/14.pdf Several online copies:
[Much interest in these stories, since they parallel the Brer Rabbit stories told in America.]
Walter Jekyll, 1907, Jamaican Song and Story, 51 Annancy stories, some notes. Several copies online: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/35410/35410-h/35410-h.htm
