Very interesting collection of folk tales which are not raw stories, but polished by a skilled writer. I enjoyed this immersion in the Ivorian and West-African folklore that it is also revealing the customs, traditions and characters of people from that area, but also are universally part of mankind heritage. There is no wonder in my opinion that some of the stories have similitudes with folk tales from other parts of the world, even as remote as Eastern Europe.
