Eighteen authentic fables, recorded as they were told by tribal members of Nigerian and other cultures, range from the imaginative \"Story of a Farmer and Four Hyenas\" to an entertaining account of \"The Man with Seven Dogs.\"\u003cbr\u003eIn \"The Magic Crocodile,\" you'll meet a reptile with very strange powers, while \"The Boy in the Drum\" teaches a valuable lesson in the importance of obeying one's parents. In \"The Hare and the Crownbird,\" a fine, feathered friend is rewarded for its acts of kindness. You'll also learn why a ram has a large head and a tortoise a small one in \"The Greedy but Cunning Tortoise\"; and in \"A She-Goat and Her Children,\" you'll discover how a clever animal managed to provide food for her children.\u003cbr\u003eSet in large, easy-to-read type and enhanced with Yuko Green's 19 lively illustrations, this collection of time-honored folk tales will delight readers of all ages.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"African Folk Tales (Dover Children's Thrift Classics) | Hugh Vernon-Jackson; Yuko Green | Paperback | 9780486405537 | Used: Very Good | Children's Books 1556992","offer_id":50578408669442,"sku":"1556992","price":28.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71Ks5Ky3HmL.jpg?v=1790942946","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/african-folk-tales-dover-childrens-thrift-classics","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
