Today's free book is Stories of an African Prince by John A. Lomax (Journal of American folklore v.26 1913). For the table of contents, check at the bottom of this post below the image. The prince is Lattevi Ajayi of the Yoruba people of West Central Africa; he was born in Lagos and met John Lomax in Texas, as Lomax explains.
The book is available at Hathi Trust (I have not checked for other online sources).
