Diaspora Folktales at Internet Archive: Week 17

Another blazing hot weekend here, so I stayed home and got lots of work done on another of my projects (Latin and Spanish proverbs, with help from Hector Tapia), and now I'm doing the week's round-up here. You can browse all the past round-up posts too, going back to the very beginning: May 2021 - June - July - August - September - October - November - December - January 2022 - February - March - April - May - June.

And don't forget about our ongoing Anansi Book Club reading children's books with stories from Africa; this week we are reading the delightful Talking Vegetables by Won-Ldy Paye.

So, without further ado, here are this week's books:
