Central Africa is at the core of the African continent. The nations that comprise this region are inhabited by hundreds of different ethnic or tribal groups. While there are many differences among these groups of people, there are also many similarities. Oral tradition has played a very strong role in the passing on of the stories of these people, which we refer to as folktales. These stories, told to children and shared in villages and homes, reveal a great deal about the thought and the culture of the people of this region. In many ways, they show the way people think and the values they possess. The stories in this children s book come from the people of the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the Republic of the Congo. Variations of these stories are found throughout Central Africa, where they are recounted in hundreds of other native languages. "

From the beating heart of Central Africa comes a collection to join East African, West African and Southern African Folktales Featuring stories such as The Prince Who Insisted on Possessing the Moon, The Dog Came to Live with Man, and The Legend of the Cunning Terrapin and the Crane, tales from Central Africa share many aspects of the same themes across the continent because ancient ethnic groups expanded and migrated over many centuries bringing the oral traditions with them. Tales in the Bantu and Banda languages abound, the Sara and Gbaya too, each bringing their unique inflections to the stories of Anansi or the trickster where in the Congo, the clever water antelope is pitched against the brutish or pompous lions or elephants. A lively and powerful read. FLAME TREE 451: From myth to mystery, the supernatural to horror, fantasy and science fiction, Flame Tree 451 offers a healthy diet of werewolves and mechanical men, blood-lusty vampires, dastardly villains, mad scientists, secret worlds, lost civilizations and escapist fantasies. Discover a storehouse of tales gathered specifically for the reader of the fantastic.

Once upon a time… Il était une fois. Myths, legends and tales were/are the means used by Africans to convey messages. Tales, myths and legends are the most appropriate means of education to edify children. In most African tales, animals are personified in order to avoid using human beings as live actors in the story. Long before, tales were told by our bards and our poets, the so-called griots. They were usually older women. These tales used to be told at night, around a wood fire, while waiting for the meal to be ready. They seemed more interesting than modern televisions. Through Resulam, Resurrection of minority languages, the author presents here his childhood's tales. The tales are illustrated with high-quality colorful images in order to make it easy for children to follow the stories. This version is the English and French translation of the original book that was published on May 20, 2015. That original book was written in fè'éfě'è (nùfī) language, a bamileke language in Cameroon, Central Africa, then translated into French for French speakers, and into English for English Speakers. L'objectif de ce livre est de présenter au monde entier la façon des africains d'observer le monde, à travers les contes, mythes et légendes. Cette version Anglais-Français est une traduction directe du livre original écrit uniquement en langue fè’é’fě’è (nùfī), une langue bamiléké du Cameroun, située en Afrique Centrale.
