Ellis. Yoruba-Speaking Peoples

Today's free book is Yoruba-Speaking Peoples of the Slave Coast of West Africa by A. B. Ellis (1894). One chapter of the book contains folktales, and I listed the tales at the bottom of this post below the image.

The book is available at Sacred Texts and at Hathi Trust (I have not checked for other online sources).
