Storytelling is alive and well in the 21st Century. A good Fable or Fairy-tale can still hold its own in an era of DVDs, Play Stations and Cyberspace. Just imagine reading a passage in one of these stories that is so vivid that you can relate to a time and place never experience, yet, draw an association from where you are at that moment. Stories were and are still passed on to teach morals and values as well as excite, soothe or to make a positive change.
African American Olden African Tales contain six original short stories: The Magic Fish, The Village at the End of the Stream, Regalia Line, Mixed Melody, The Old Rickety Bridge and Spinney Valley; set in Africa hundreds of years ago and told with present day African American flavor. Each story tells of what might have been or if you think carefully, just what might be. These stories entertain and teach as those stories told from other cultures that carried universal messages, morals, and values for all to learn from or to enjoy.
