African and African-American Folktales, 2nd EditionShares three African and African-American folktales as told by storyteller Donna Washington. Washington introduces each story and shares information about folktales and culture, oral traditions, trickster characters, and what people can learn from sharing stories. She tells three stories. The first features the trickster spider named Anansi. The second story is about what happens when everyday objects begin to talk and the third is in the Br’er Rabbit tradition, though it features a character called Br’er Fox instead.
