African-European Folktales Helena Gabriel

Folktales and Bedtime stories has been one of the oldest means of entertaining and education children right from their tender age.
Stories and tales are told to educate the mind of the child even before any formal means of education came to being, on societal
values, cultures and expectations.
Many writers have written many books on European folktales and many others have done perfect works on African tales, but I found out that there hasn't been almost any work done on bringing the tales from both Europe and Africa and blending them together so that the readers can both enjoy stories and tales from these two parts of human existence.
I therefore present to you a collection of selected African and European folktales, about sixty of them selected from various parts of Africa and Europe according as it was told by trusted and assured sources. Enjoy!
