Tremearne. Fifty Hausa Folktales

Today's free book is Fifty Hausa Folktales by A. J. N. Tremearne (1910 and 1911). For the table of contents, check at the bottom of this post below the image.

The book is available at Hathi Trust (I have not checked for other online sources). Because the stories are spread out over seven issues of the journal, I have compiled them into a single PDF document: 50 Hausa Folktales.
