"Out of the darkness of Charleston's underworld, the Catfish Row which we have come to know so well in 'Porgy' came mamba to work without pay in the Wentworth's kitchen, for the sake of the distinction which would come to her from being connected with quality white folks. She was black and old and toothless but she fought bravely for her children. And this same courage was in the heart of Hagar, her giant daughter. When only murder could save lovely Lissa, her heart was ready and her hands able." Illustrator: . Quantity Available: 1. Category: Fiction; Inventory No: 138691. .
