About African Jungle Tales

Carl Bender [1869-1935] was a German-born American missionary in Cameroon. During his years in Africa, he collected folktales which he later published in this book. Bender indicates the cultural tradition of each storyteller, with most of the stories coming from the Kwe people of southwest Cameroon. Many of the stories are animal fables, including several stories about the trickster turtle. - Summary by Laura Gibbs
