First published in the early 20th century, this work captures the wisdom, humor, and moral depth of African oral storytelling traditions that have been passed down for generations. The tales feature familiar trickster figures like Anansi the Spider, as well as kings, animals, and spirits who teach lessons about cleverness, honesty, justice, and the human condition. Told with authenticity and respect for the original narrators, these folk tales preserve the vibrant imagination and cultural identity of West Africa before the disruptions of colonialism.
