Virgin Islands Storytellers is a compilation of almost 100 authors and storytellers along with their backgrounds and the inspiration for their almost 200 books about the Virgin Islands. Some of the storytellers have more than 20 books to their name while others have just one. Some authors stick mainly to historic fact and dates while others freely express themselves in local Virgin Islands dialect and tell their story as if speaking to a friend. Regardless of the style and format, all of the storytellers and the books that they have written help to tell the story of the people and history of the U.S. Virgin Islands.
