From creation myths and foundation legends to fascinating stories of human relationships and amusing animal tales, these stories provide a diverse look at the countries and cultures across the African continent. Noted folklorist Helen Nde also provides marvelous context for history and colonial influences for the stories.
Read 50 stories that take you north to Egypt, west to Sierra Leone, east to Somalia, south to South Africa and many places in-between. Discover the geographical and cultural variety of the continent with stories such as:
- FROM ALGERIA: “The Story of the First Man and Woman”, who meet when they struggle over access to a well, but go on to have 100 children and start the human race.
- FROM SUDAN: “Okwa and the River Maiden”, a tale about the great-grandson of the first man who seeks the river spirit’s approval to marry two river maidens, half women and half crocodiles.
- FROM ZIMBABWE: “The Moon and His Wives”, a story about the first man who pleads with the creator to become mortal and go to earth, where the first star becomes his companion.
- FROM GHANA: “How Goat Caused a War” by tricking the Supreme Being and giving his holy message to the wrong prince.
- FROM TANZANIA: “The Singing Kaguru Birds”, who offer help and riches to poor folk in exchange for a strict rule or even a trick.
Carefully researched and vividly retold these stories represent a vital and fresh perspective on African Folktales for anyone interested in folktales, mythology and storytelling from around the world.
