Stories My Father Told Me

By Obii Okwelume

Stories My Father Told Me offers a feast of tales that can be told on moonlit evenings for the pleasure of young readers as well as seniors. It contains twenty enchanting stories that have come down from family to family, about men and animals, kings and farmers. Somewhere in each story, there is a moral lesson or truth, as the purpose of storytelling in Africa has always been to teach and instruct. From 'Pamshack and the Golden Pebble' to 'Tortoise and the Boastful Rabbit' and to 'A Tale of Two Sisters', these stories are as entertaining, instructive and appealing as they were when they were first told.
