Folktales Of Nigeria The Collection Of Folktales From Nigeria Consists Of One Book With 40 Folktales Collected From Southern Nigeria 1st Edition Summary: Nigerian folktales are epic stories that can explain the world around us! These stories and myths have been told within generations. Nigerian folklore include proverbs, myths, “just so” stories, and riddles. “Just so” stories are designed to explain features of an animal, such as their appearance or their habits. Morals are either explicitly stated at the end of Nigerian folktales, or hidden within the text. Animals, especially the tortoise, hold prominence in the tales from Nigeria, and unlike other folk tales from Africa, there aren’t many “trickster” figures like Anasi.Reading some of the stories from Nigeria, you may note that the stories bear similarity to some European folk tales, filled with poor peasant girls, royalty, and magical properties; however, many of the folk tales bear a magic that is all their own, with grand narratives readers have loved for years.The collection of Folktales from Nigeria consists of one book with 40 folktales collected from Southern Nigeria. The stories are full of mentions of strange institutions, as well as of rare adventures.Book includes:The Tortoise with a Pretty DaughterHow a Hunter obtained Money from his Friends the Leopard, Goat, Bush Cat, and Cock, and how he got out of repaying themThe Woman with Two SkinsThe King's Magic DrumItuen and the King's WifeOf the Pretty Stranger who Killed the KingWhy the Bat flies by NightThe Disobedient Daughter who Married a SkullThe King who Married the Cock's DaughterThe Woman, the Ape, and the ChildThe Fish and the Leopard's Wife; or, Why the Fish lives in the WaterWhy the Bat is Ashamed to be seen in the DaytimeWhy the Worms live Underneath the GroundThe Elephant and the Tortoise; or, Why the Worms are Blind and Why the Elephant has Small EyesWhy a Hawk kills ChickensWhy the Sun and the Moon live in the SkyWhy the Flies Bother the CowsWhy the Cat kills RatsThe Story of the Lightning and the ThunderWhy the Bush Cow and the Elephant are bad FriendsThe Cock who caused a Fight between two TownsThe Affair of the Hippopotamus and the Tortoise; or, Why the Hippopotamus lives in the WaterWhy Dead People are BuriedOf the Fat Woman who Melted AwayConcerning the Leopard, the Squirrel, and the TortoiseWhy the Moon Waxes and WanesThe Story of the Leopard, the Tortoise, and the Bush RatThe King and the Ju Ju TreeHow the Tortoise overcame the Elephant and the HippopotamusOf the Pretty Girl and the Seven Jealous WomenHow the Cannibals drove the People from Insofan Mountain to the Cross River The Lucky FishermanThe Orphan Boy and the Magic StoneThe Slave Girl who tried to Kill her MistressThe King and the 'Nsiat BirdConcerning the Fate of Essido and his Evil CompanionsConcerning the Hawk and the OwlThe Story of the Drummer and the AlligatorsThe 'Nsasak Bird and the Odudu BirdThe Election of the King BirdEnjoy This classic collection!?
