African Folktales

A book of 90 stories selected by Roger D. Abrahams from across the African continent – from deep forests, broad savannahs, campsites, kraals and villages – to reveal both the diversity and interconnectedness of the people who live there. Divided into four parts, the book brings together creation myths and tales of ghosts, as well as ribald stories of mischief and magical adventures in the animal and human realms.
