Eighty narratives alive with the voice and animation of the original storyteller.

Features tales that were told to the author by Olawale Idewu, a Nigerian student in a midwestern American college who was lonesome for his homeland and its culture and who was willing to share some of the tales from that culture.

A collection of Turkish oral narratives.

Every country has its folk hero - real or legendary, and in Turkey he goes by the name of Nasreddin Hoca, pronounced Nahz-red'-din Hoe'-djah. He lived several years ago and he served as a religious teacher, Moslem priest or judge as the occasion demanded. This work features a collection of Hoca tales.

Aims to capture the flavor and excitement of the Turkish telling, while not infringing 'on the narrator's right to have the tale recreated as he had told it'.
