Designed to entice even the most reluctant reader, these stories are not only fun to read, but are bound to be repeated and shared. The seven sections - Young Heroes and Heroines, Animal Fables, Trickster Stories, Parables About People, Bigger Than Life, In the Park and in the Dark, and Brother Rabbit Today - are introduced by brief topical essays and include individual story notes to further enhance both the learning and the enjoyment of these stories.In his introduction to African-American Folktales, Dr. Rex Ellis underscores the multicultural opportunity afforded by this collection: \"They are stories that continue to be told by African Americans because...they transcend color and culture. They are stories that represent our common experience.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46312020017303,"sku":"9780874833096","price":1538.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780874833096.webp?v=1768667441","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/african-american-folktales-9780874833096","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
