Book excerpt: Florence Cronise and Henry Ward, fascinated with the folklore of the West-African peoples, tried to render the pearls of the native art of storytelling into this bok. To make the settings, language, and spirit as close to the land of origin as possible, they used the dialect of English they've heard from locals, many native namings, and extensive footnotes, explaining phenomena that are foreign to a western reader.
