In Moon-Child, the poet and playwright Derek Walcott returns to the island of St. Lucia for a lush and vivid tale of spirituality and the supernatural. In this lyrical new work, the crafty Planter (who may or may not be the Devil in disguise) schemes to take over the island for development. Between him and his goal lies the Bouton family, whose ailing matriarch strikes a bargain: if any of her three sons can get the Devil to feel anger and human weakness, the islanders will win the right to spend the rest of their days in wealth and peace. In a fable that reaches from St. Lucia's verdant forests to an explosive ending amid its plantation homes, Walcott has crafted a masterwork rich in flowing language and colorful Creole patois. With roots in Caribbean folklore and an eye toward the island's postcolonial legacy and complex racial identities, Moon-Child marks a remarkable new addition to the canon of one of the world's most prolific Caribbean playwrights.

When a merman named Shona meets a young human named Jimmy, who suffers from amnesia, they set off together to find a missing half-mermaid, half-human girl who can bring an end to the feud between humanity and the mer-people.

The stars at Hanna's birth predict greatness, but she experiences precious little of it as the only girl growing up at an all male Monastery. Everyone there learns the same skills: how to perform basic magic spells and how to access the Memories, a pictorial historical system embedded into the brains of humans by the Ancients, a now defunct race. Even as she studies the Memories, Hanna wonders what could be so great about accessing them. Yet this ability is more exceptional than Hanna believes; most humans have lost the ability to access the Memories. Hanna earns exile for her father and herself when she inadvertently reveals that she knows the secret language of the Priests-a crime normally punishable by death. As Hanna and her father embark on their journey over frighteningly unfamiliar land and sea, searching for a safe place to make their new life, she ruefully longs for the security of the Monastery. Facing seasickness and walking distances greater than she has ever imagined, Hanna's doubts grow that she is bound for anything but despair and banishment. But the stars did speak the Truth. Greatness does await Hanna-if only she can survive being kidnapped, betrayed time and again, and can outrun a flood such as her world has never experienced before.
