The Orphan Girl: And Other Stories, West African Folk Tales

Beschreibung

This collection of folk tales includes a fascinating introduction exploring the roots of the storytelling tradition in the history and culture of West Africa. Each country is represented by several stories, a map, and brief information.

To compile these tales, Kent State professor and storyteller Buchi Offodile both drew from his own childhood experiences growing up in West Africa and searched villages for elders who remembered the old stories. These forty-one tales are culled from a lifetime of listening, reading, and researching.
