# Carolina Chansons: Legends of the Low Country

An audiobook by Hervey Allen and DuBose Heyward, read by LibriVox volunteers (1 h 53 min, English).

This is a collection of poems about Charleston and the South Carolina Lowcountry. DuBose Heyward was a Charleston native best known for his novel Porgy, which was the basis for the Gershwin opera Porgy and Bess. Hervey Allen, who later wrote Anthony Adverse, met Heyward after moving to Charleston to teach. Together they founded the Poetry Society of South Carolina, which is still active today.
