African Folktales at Internet Archive: Week 8

This week was a really fun one for me with the focus on tricksters from western African stories: Tortoise, Spider, and Rabbit too! The round-up is below, and you can also see the round-ups by month: May - June - July.

I'll be back next week with a focus on books from southern Africa. :-)
