African Stories in Andrew Lang's Fairy Books

Below is a list of the stories in Andrew Lang's Fairy Book series which come from Africa.

I have singled out the North African stories because Lang's books are very valuable in that regard. For the other regions of Africa, there are lots of colonial English-language sources, but not for North Africa because the 19th-century sources are in German or French. Update. I did find one book by Rene Basset in English which contains Berber and Kabyle stories; you can see those stories here: Moorish Literature.

The "view" link takes you to a presentation of the stories at the MythFolklore.net site (no illustrations); you can also use the link to the specific fairy book itself (by color) to access a version online that might have an illustration. The bibliography information, such as it is, comes from Andrew Lang's brief notes (sometimes very brief notes) for each story.
