Abstract: | Annotated bibliography of African folklore for African children available in United States libraries. The annotations attempt to identify the source of the tales, their narrative features and themes, and to give information on the relationship of the illustrations to the tales and on the author's writing experience. Most of the books listed have been included in publishers' series of supplementary school readers. The bibliography is preceded by an introduction on general characteristics of African folklore written in English which African children may read, and research suggestions. Notes. |
