The Yam Child and Other Tales From West Africa
If you love Grimm’s Fairy Tales…the original ones with all the little scary details, not just the happy Disney ones, then this collection of stories is for you.
It has talking yam tubers, polite little boys who throw up money, and an alarming story of a disrespectful little girl, who sets out to find something to see.
This is the second collection of stories in the African Fireside Classics series featuring folktales from Ghana, West Africa.
