The Girl in the Tree and Other Tales from Africa (African Fireside Classics, #4)

by A. Sakyiama

Overview

If you were sitting in a tree and could only come down for someone you would like to marry, who would you pick?

* The best dancer?
* The very rich one?
* Or the very strong and fearsome one, who promises to cut off the head of anyone who bothers you?

Decisions, decisions! Monka was the girl in the tree. Who did she pick? Did she even pick? And, why on earth did anyone think that this was a good way to pick a husband?

Read Monka's story and other tales of courtship and love. I have to warn you though, if you're looking for "lovey-dovey, happily-ever-after" stories, some of these stories are not that.

About the Author

A. Sakyiama was born in Ghana, West Africa. She grew up hearing many of the stories that she now retells for all of us to enjoy.

She writes of the antics of wily folktale characters like Ananse, his son, Ntikuma and his clever wife, Aso. She tells stories of naughty and nice ghosts; scared but brave boys and girls; monsters that eat disobedient children; as well as fantastical tales about why things are the way they are.
 
A. Sakyiama currently lives in the USA with her family. She is also an avid gardener or more accurately, a fierce warrior who defends her territory against marauding gangs of deer, woodchucks, rabbits and crows.
