Yoruba Folktales by Amos Tutuola
The author ranks as one of the foremost living traditional African storytellers - as recognised by the acclaim of his first book, The Palm-wine Drinkard. This book includes seven folktales especially for young adults, but of universal appeal. Beautiful black and white ink drawings illustrate the tales whose cast of characters include humans, a goddess, an elephant woman, a boa constrictor and a shell-man.
