African Folktales at Internet Archive: Week 4

Here's a round-up of this week's African folklore book recommendations, all free to read online (plus a post about a non-recommendation about some problematic books too: Thoughts on Telling the Stories and Doing the Work), and here are links to the round-ups for Week 1, Week 2, and Week 3.

I'll be back tomorrow starting a new week with more books! :-)
