African Folk & Fairy Tales: Fables, Folklore & Ancient Stories by J.K. Jackson & Lérè Adéyemí (Flame Tree Collector's Editions)
Delightful and ingenious stories from throughout the continent of Africa, this gorgeous collector's edition features folk and fairy tales from regions now marked as modern nations: Libya, Algeria, Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda. Here you will find stories of ogres and tricksters, riddles and poems, and great heroes of history such as Liongo—tales inherited from ancient peoples and created for the modern reader. These narratives reveal the humour, wisdom and resilience woven through African cultures across vast geographical and temporal spans.
The Flame Tree Collector's Editions present the foundations of speculative fiction—authors, myths and tales without which the imaginative literature of the twentieth century would not exist—bringing the best, most influential and most fascinating works into a striking and collectable library. Each volume features a new introduction and a glossary of terms, offering readers both entertainment and insight into the rich storytelling traditions of the African continent.
