African Folktales at Internet Archive: Week 2

Instead of a new book today, I'm going to end my second week of African folklore book recommendations with a Week 2 round-up, and I'll be back with new recommendations in the coming week. (And here's the Week 1 round-up if you're curious.)

There are links below to the individual blog posts, and you can see all the blog posts together on one page here: African Folklore books - Week 2.
