Beschrijving

Delve into the enchanting world of Ikom folk tales with Elphinstone Daryell, a British colonial administrator and passionate anthropologist who collected these 34 captivating stories in the Ikom district of Cross River State, southern Nigeria. From intriguing nature tales like How the River Came into Existence and Why the Mist Rises from the Water, to clever animal fables such as The Cunning Hare and Why a Python Never Swallows a Tortoise, this collection offers a rich tapestry of human drama—both natural and supernatural. Notably, Daryell concludes the book with a Latin tale, a nod to the practices of his time regarding explicit content. This book serves as a sequel to his earlier work, Folk Stories from Southern Nigeria, which is also available for listening on LibriVox. (Summary by Laura Gibbs)
