‘What eh miss yuh eh pass yuh‘ - David Kallo

"What eh miss yuh eh pass yuh"
“If it’s meant for you, it won’t pass you by.”
That’s the metaphor chosen by David Kallo, author of “Jumbie in Town”. The book explores his childhood adventures in search of characters from the rich amalgamation of Trinidad and Tobago folklore.
These childhood folk stories inspired more excitement than fear for him, but not for most of us, still scared of those notorious Jumbies!
Delia goes through some of them this Halloween!
