West African Folk Tales by William H. Barker Loyal Books Compiled by an American missionary, West African Folk Tales by William H Barker is a delightful collection of folk tales from Nigeria, Ghana, Mali, Mauritania and other countries along the west coast of Africa. These stories spread in various forms to other countries like the West Indies, Suriname, the Netherland Antilles, etc and can be still heard today among the people of these countries.West African Folk Tales is a wonderful read for both young people and older readers alike. The stories are charmingly retold. Most of them are about Anansi, the trickster god of the West African people. He is worshiped as the god of all stories and often takes the form of a spider, which is considered to be very cunning. Anansi the Spider sometimes has a human face, wears clothes or assumes human form but keeps his eight legs. The first story in this book tells of how the Anansi tales originated. In the olden days, goes the tale, all stories were only about Nyankupon the chief of gods. But Anansi Peas In A Pod Storytelling Paula Podcast of stories for children and adults using folk tales from around the world, often with humour, thoughtful morals and environmental themes. From the battered treasure chest of life fly stories of frogs and fairies, lions and lullabies; enchanting tales of fools, ferrets and wise old folk. Set in a time before time or just before lunch, Paula’s stories might be set in an old Greek maze, a smelly old sock or the park around your corner. Keep on your toes; characters may jump from one story to the next. Watch out, for they may trick you, tease you, love you or inspire you.
