Tales from Esan Land: (The Family Companion) Paperback � August 31, 2020

by Jackson Akpasubi (Author)

As the names suggests, Tales from Esan Land is a collection of tales and legends originating and traditional among the tribe of the people of Esan in the famous Bini Kingdom, south of Nigeria. It may be folk, but it forms part of the oral tradition of the common people and beliefs passed on traditionally whether real or based on superstition.Timeless and placeless, as it has always been from our forebears, the stories contained here are priceless builders of sound morals and humanity. These are told by parents and adults to children especially at moonlit evenings in most African villages to teach the history of their people as well as how to behave responsibly. This little book, therefore, is my contribution to create a sense of unity of my cultural group of the peoples of Edo. Apart from reinforcing Esan people's identity, which telling of tales from generation to generation does, this book is a bridge between the past, the present, and future--a window for the children of the world in this era of globalization. It's my hope that children all over the world, no matter where they domicile, will find this interesting.
