Lang published 25 different African stories in his Fairy Book series, with illustrations by Henry Justice Ford; more about Ford.
In the Lilac Fairy Book, published in 1910, there are two different African folktales with illustrations: The Heart of a Monkey and The One-Handed Girl. Both of these stories come from Steere's Swahili Tales: The Story of the Washerman's Donkey and Blessing or Property; Steere includes the Swahili texts.
See this Flickr album for larger file sizes of the images. The images below have been resized to fit this blog; I have linked the titles of the stories below to where you can read them in the book.
