ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to sincerely thank all the good people who contributed in diverse ways to make this collection of African folktales a possibility. Indeed collecting folktales from various countries in Africa is a tedious undertaking but those who narrated them from all parts of the continent made this book a reality. The elders in my little village of Koodum in Ghana usually gathered in the village square during moonlight nights to narrate folktales to the young children in the community who were forever eager to listen to these interesting fables and ancient proverbs. The elders who narrated these folktales included my late great greatgrandmother Nana Akosua Asieduaa my grandmother the late Maame Afua Nimo Owusuaa my grandfather Nana Akwasi Agyekum the late chief of Jejeti my late great uncle Nana Kofi Ayeribi the Odikuro or chief of Koodum Yaa Nsonowaa Amma Ahenkan my uncle Kwame Sikayena my mother Yaa Nyame Dufie Kwame Asiedu Kwabena Asiedu Kwadwo Addo Adwoa Buronya Adwoa Yebowaa Yaa Gyanewa Amma Asantewaa Afua Badu Kwabena Boateng Maame Akosua Mansah Kwame Antwi Kwame Kwaakye Yaa Otiwaa and Kwadwo Addo. I appreciate also the many children who participated in the daily ritual of storytelling in Koodum. For the Nigerian folktales I am heavily indebted to my best friend Donatus Nnanyelueze Anyanwu from the Umulowu family in the Amazu clan in Ikenanzizi near the town of Obowo in the Etiti division of Imo State Nigeria. He drove me around to record these folktales and was instrumental in assisting me in collecting many of the Nigerian folktales. I will forever be grateful to him for his selfless work and intense dedication. His brother Linus Okafor also from Ikenanzizi was helpful in narrating some of the folktales from Nigeria. Mention should also be made of the contributions made by Sunday Ihemegbulam Okeiyi from Oloko near Umuahia for his passionate interest in narrating some of the Nigerian folktales and also for the pain and caution he took to explain the significance of the folktales to us.
