Abstract:Written children's literature in Ghana is fairly recent. Efua Sutherland's 'Playtime in Africa', published in 1960, may be one of the country's first children's books. Other notable writers for children in Ghana include Meshack Asare, J.O. deGraft Hanson, Peggy Appiah, Abenaa Korama and Akosua Gyamfuaa-Fofie. The present bibliography of Ghanaian children's storybooks lists 348 titles in English spanning a period of some 45 years (1959-2005). Only creative works have been cited. Where possible, publication details are provided. The entries are arranged alphabetically by author. Where there are several entries for the same author, the titles are arranged chronologically by year of publication. Ref. [ASC Leiden abstract]
