i African, Folk tales and myths serve as a means of handing down traditions and
customs from one generation to the next in Africa. For several
generations, stories from Africa have traditionally been passed down by
word of mouth. Often, after a hard day’s work, the adults would
gather the children together by moonlight, around a village fire and
tell stories. This is traditionally called Tales by Moonlight. Usually
the stories are meant to prepare young people for life, and so taught a
lesson or moral.
In the African folk tales, the stories reflect the culture where
diverse types of animals abound. The animals and birds are often
accorded human attributes, so it is not uncommon to find animals talking, singing or demonstrating other human characteristics such as greed, jealousy, honesty etc.
The setting in many of the stories exposes the reader to landform and
climate in Africa. References are often made to different seasons such
as dry or rainy season
and their effect on vegetation.
