Herein are 51 illustrated African tales of Cunnie Rabbit, or Cunning Rabbit, Anansi the “Trickster” Spider and their mischievous antics they get up to with other animals in the West African Jungle. The 51 stories are divided into 13 sections. These sections are not the usual well-ordered and self explanatory sections you would expect. Instead, they are arranged with typically African fashion and meaning. They are: When The Night Has Come With The Spirits Of The Wood A Back-Yard Kitchen Evening On The Water A Purro Initiation The Burning Of The Farm Mammy Mamenah And Her Friends Children Of Nature An Afternoon In The Barreh Konah Turns Story-Teller While The Birds Did Not Come A Harvest Home In Temne-Land (Northen Sierra Leone) Konah Has A Wonderful Day Some of the stories interwoven into these sections are: Mr. Spider Wins A Wife, Goro, The Wonderful Wrestler, Mr. Turtle Makes A Riding-Horse Of Mr. Leopard, Cunning Rabbit And His Well, Mr. Chameleon Is Transformed Into A Boat, as well as many others which include your typical array of African forest animals like Mr. Crocodile, Mr ‘Elephan, Mr. Pawpawtámus (hippopotamus) and many more. But, Cunnie Rabbit is not in fact a rabbit in the true sense. Cunnie Rabbit is a small deer of the Duiker, or Dik Dik, variety of the family Cephalophinae of which there are 22 extant species. So, no matter what time of year it is, pour yourself a hot toddy, pull up a comfortable chair, and sit back and be prepared to be entertained with this old-fashioned book of African folklore gathered by Florence M. Cronise and Henry W. Ward from Sierra Leone over a hundred years ago. 10% of the publisher’s profit from the sale of this book will be donated to Charities.

Book Description
Florence Cronise and Henry Ward, fascinated with the folklore of the West-African peoples, tried to render the pearls of the native art of storytelling into this bok. To make the settings, language, and spirit as close to the land of origin as possible, they used the dialect of English they've heard from locals, many native namings, and extensive footnotes, explaining phenomena that are foreign to a western reader.

Book Description
In the jungles of deepest darkest Africa, the animals were hungry for there was nothing to eat. They fought for scraps and tit-bits until they came across a tree, the Bojabi tree (the mango-melon-pomegranate tree} which they smelled of apple-orange-plum-pear-banana. They wanted to rat the rich, red fruit but found they could not, because they did not know the fruit’s name. The animals took it in turns to leave and cross the dry and dusty African plains to ask the king of the jungle, the Lion, for the answer. But somehow on the return journey they keep forgetting what they have been told. Until, all that is left is the slow Tortoise. Will he manage to make the trip and remember the all-important name? This retelling of a traditional tale from Gabon is told using rhyme and repetition, giving it a rhythmic quality which begs to be read aloud. Edith Rickert’s text is perfectly matched by Gleb Botkin’s illustrations, bringing the African animals and scenery to life. =============== KEYWORDS/TAGS: Bojabi tree, folklore, fairy tales, myths and legends, parents with children, mothers with children, parents to be, mothers to be, grandparents, advice, afraid, African, Beasts, animals, appleorangeplumpearbanana, A-rash-oo, A-rashum, asleep, A-tchoo, ker-lipp, Baby, bananapearplumorangeapple, Bear, beautiful, beg, BOJABI, Bruno, buzz, canoe, chatter, circus, clumsy, crawl, cream, Crocodile, delicious, eat, eighteen, Elephant, Elizabeth, forget, fruit, food, Giddy, Goat, great, happy, Hippo, Humpy, hunger, ker-lump, ker-lipp, Ker-splash, King, Leo, lion, Majesty, Mimi, Monkey, muffler, night, paddle, Pinky Pig, Puddle, Rat, remember, river, Robin, rowboat, sailboat, sail, school, shell, shriek, sing, SNIFF, Squeak, squeal, squeeze, skedaddle, stockings, SUNSET, Tabby, Tiger, Tommy Tortoise, trumpet, wail, whisper, yawn

Book Description
Uniting a sense of the political dimensions of language appropriation with a serious, yet accessible linguistic terminology, The African Palimpsest examines the strategies of ‘indigenization’ whereby West African writers have made their literary English or French distinctively ‘African’. Through the apt metaphor of the palimpsest – a surface that has been written on, written over, partially erased and written over again – the book examines such well-known West African writers as Achebe, Armah, Ekwensi, Kourouma, Okara, Saro–Wiwa, Soyinka and Tutuola as well as lesser-known writers from francophone and anglophone Africa. Providing a great variety of case-studies in Nigerian Pidgin, Akan, Igbo, Maninka, Yoruba, Wolof and other African languages, the book also clarifies the vital interface between Europhone African writing and the new outlets for African artistic expression in (auto-)translation, broadcast television, radio and film.
