Looks like life is not treating you kindly?

Let's begin a new round of brain ticklers this week.

There is a book on Guyana with one of the world's longest book titles.

Provide the full title of this book and name its author.

"Three singles to adventure"  me is doan know who pen am

The Discovery of the Large, Rich, and Beautiful Empire of Guiana, with a Relation of the Great and Golden City of Manoa

 By:Sir.Walter Raleigh

This one is a real head scratcher............I got no clue

Never heard Sir Walter was an author. Thought he was a pirate as was Sir Francis Drake. Did not these guys get knighted for taking the most loot to Britain?

Never known my self,guess we are learning

found on amazon

http://www.amazon.com/Discover...842/ref=cm_lmf_tit_7

here is another one

 Searching for El Dorado: A Journey into the South American Rainforest on the Tail of the World's Largest Gold Rush by Marc Herman

You get one single to misadventure, ball. No return fare.

Thanks Django. Could it be a different Raleigh?

Let Django teach you how to scratch head. He knows some moves.

You never heard a lot of things, Skelly. Me go ask Warrior fo edify yuh.

Bai Gilly, wen you live near weh de road end, you nah gat wan radio, and can't afford a newspaper, you ah mis plenty ting. Dem Jashtong peeple deh near de action all de time.

Oh rass now meh deh in trouble. Me guh have to wear ear plugs

Django is a good "googler"

You haven't provided the complete title, but you pass.

Here: The Discovery of the Large, Rich, and Beautiful Empire of Guiana, with a Relation of the Great and Golden City of Manoa, which the Spaniards call El Dorado, and the Provinces of Emeria, Aromaia, Amapala, and Other Countries, with Their Rivers Adjoining.

Congratulations!!

Raleigh's book was first published in 1596.

In 1976, the Bank of Guyana issued a special commemorative coin to mark the book and 10 years of independence.

me na wan priest,this is the one to help him 

I found Richard Schomburg travels in British Guiana

1840-1845 i have a pdf verson,i was trying to uplaod

getting problems.

At the mouth of the Berbice River there is an island that played an important role in Berbice history. Name that island and state what it was famous for.

is wah happen ayo stop tickling this thred

Ok here we go where in G/T can you find the best mauby  

I'm gonna guess Crab Island. It's famous for crabs.

Crab Island.

Has numerous crabs.

Before the British took over Berbice in 1815, the Dutch had a fort here called St. Andries.

Crab Island, had lots of crabs and a dutch fort was there named St. Andries.

You didn't tickle your brain. You just patted your forehead.

Ohhh, you're so nice and bright, but slow like a crab.

You get second prize.

Better luck next time.

Here's our crab catcher for today.

Yes, correct answers.

You get first prize.

Congratulations!!

FORT ST ANDRIES

yeah

I lived at Sheet Anchor and the local fishermen would go to crab island when they are marching. That's all they talked about, they never came back and mention the fort

The first professional author from the British West Indies was born in New Amsterdam, Berbice.

Give his name and the street in New Amsterdam where he lived.

 Edgar Mittelholzer

He's from Coburg Street

You certainly didn't rely on fishermen for this answer.

Yes, you are correct. Edgar Mittelholzer [1909-1965] was the first Caribbean author to earn his livelihood through writing. He wrote 26 books.

In 1993, I made a visit to Coburg Street just to see Mittelholzer's home. The yard was empty but there was a marker stating that he lived there.

There was a house years ago when I live in Berbice but not sure if it was the original.

I was curious too after reading My Bones and My Flute.
