About this book
Story-telling in Africa is almost an institution. Certain persons, largely old omen, specialize in telling the youth interesting stories. Here and there are found professional story-tellers, those who go from place to place, devoting all of their time to this sort of occupation. They are the literary group of the tribe. They thus hand down to posterity the traditions of the fathers. - Summary by Carter Godwin Woodson
