| Summary: | The majority of the tales chosen arc extracted from storytelling occasions involving a number of raconteur families coming from different areas of Burkina Faso and West Africa, yet recounting their oral traditions in Jula. As such, the stories represent a natural retelling of the tellers themselves as well as that of the compiler and translator. |
