Publisher's Synopsis
""Folk Tales Of A Savage"" is a collection of 14 short stories written by Lobagola, a pen name for the African-American writer Joseph Seamon Cotter Jr. The stories are based on African folk tales and are set in different parts of Africa. Each story is narrated by a different character, ranging from a wise old man to a mischievous monkey. The tales explore themes such as love, betrayal, friendship, and the consequences of one's actions. One story tells of a man who falls in love with a mermaid and must decide whether to stay with her underwater or return to his life on land. Another story follows a group of animals who must work together to save their forest from destruction. The writing style is simple yet engaging, and the stories are filled with vivid descriptions of African landscapes and wildlife. The book offers a glimpse into the rich oral tradition of African folk tales and the values and beliefs of the people who tell them. It is a timeless collection that will appeal to readers of all ages and backgrounds.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
