Africa is home to the oldest human cultures, whose storytelling is basically oral. A Treasury of African Folklore is a written collection of hundreds of traditional African stories, as well as riddles, epics, myths, love songs, proverbs, and parables that preserve a link to an ancient past that is still dimly remembered.
