ABSTRACT
In traditional English Creole culture in Belize, a highly interactive form of storytelling persists in the practice of a few narrators and in the memories of many more. Resembling some elements found in the work of Daniel Crowley in Barbados and confirming other generalizations made by Melville Herskovits for Suriname and Roger Abrahams for the West Indies culture area, the Belizean conventions apparently derive from the African origins of the people who still use them.
