When the Sun Sleeps

When the Sun Sleeps includes folktales of Africa from the Egyptian tales of magic and enchantment to the believable anthropomorphic tales told across the continent all of them skillfully retold. Folktales are notoriously mutable. A story thought to have originated from a specific community often appearing in the folklore of another several thousand miles away with localized characters making it impossible to determine the root origin of the story. All the folktales in this book belong to the author. Some of them are newly created and some are his versions of ancient folklore retold in the authors voice as the current state of the particular folktale..
