Why does the hippopotamus live in water, and why do cats chase rats? Imaginative answers to these and other age-old questions can be found among the rich oral traditions of Africa. Generations of listeners have delighted in these fanciful explanations of the natural, moral, and spiritual worlds, which unfold amid a realm of talking animals, magic drums, tricksters, and fairies.\u003cbr\u003eKnown as the \"Father of Black History,\" Carter Godwin Woodson was among the first scholars to promote the history and achievements of African-Americans. His compilation of fables about a jealous blind man, a disobedient daughter, a rivalry among brothers, and other timeless predicaments is punctuated with thought-provoking proverbs and gentle humor. Told in simple language, these tales will enchant readers and listeners of all ages. Over sixty evocative illustrations appear throughout the book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carter Godwin Woodson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0486477347\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486477343\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.28h x 5.14w x 0.49d","brand":"Carter Godwin Woodson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44042946609407,"sku":"9780486477343","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_af6a7314-5fbd-49fd-9982-91a403ad7ddb.jpg?v=1684964423","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/african-myths-and-folk-tales-carter-godwin-woodson-9780486477343","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
