Speaking Saint: Yarns from the island

by Janet Lawrence, David Higgins, Louise Hoole

Speaking Saint is a collection of Saint Helenian poems and stories from twenty three contributors, compiled and edited by the Creative Saint Helena writing group. Many of the stories and poems are in local dialect, written by Saints, for Saints and those who enjoy its culture.


A dynamic and vibrant collection of stories, Speaking Saint explores all that is involved in island life: The Monkcat, the RMS, history, love, growing up, growing old and our interaction with nature.
