African Folktales at Internet Archive: Week 3

Slowly but surely, the Internet Archive SHARED bookshelf of African folklore books is growing and growing! I just finished Week 3 of daily recommendations, and I'll be dedicating next week to stories from the San people (sometimes called "Bushman" people) of southern Africa. Here's the round-up of the past week, and you can see similar round-up posts for Week 1 and Week 2 also. Happy weekend, everybody!
