Description

Pass down the powerful teachings of African oral tradition by adding this luxe illustrated volume of over 50 cultural folktales to your home library.

With over 50 folktales, Roots and Legends celebrates the richness of African customs and life, and champions the importance of oral tradition, a practice that rose up through the dark times of slavery and oppression.

Thoughtfully curated and richly illustrated, Roots and Legends features the wonder and educational lessons of cultural stories and figures such as:

  • Why Spiders Are Always Found in the Corners of Ceilings
  • How the Tortoise Got Its Shell
  • Why the Sun and the Moon Live in the Sky
  • How Mr. Lion Lost His Wool
  • Brother Bear's Big House
  • Brer Rabbit and the Gold Mine
  • Morning Sunrise
  • Diddy-Wah-Diddy
  • Uncle Monday
  • A Ghost Story About an Aunt
  • Farmer Mybrow and the Fairies
  • And more!


Divided into four sections (Why Things Are the Way They Are; Morals Taught through Animals Tales; Bearing Witness; and People with Unusual Powers) covering the spiritual nature of animals, people, the land and its sometimes spooky inhabitants, and more, each page is filled with timeless tales of heroes, tricksters, and everyday wisdom, and invites you to immerse yourself in the depth and beauty of African folklore.

Featuring historic stories with a modern editorial review, this deluxe collectible edition includes original illustrations and an embellished, giftable package. A perfect choice for families interested in passing down African heritage through storytelling traditions, Roots and Legends will enchant readers of all ages through its beautifully illustrated and accessible collection of folklore.
