Alain-Joseph Sissao
A collection of traditional folktales from the Mossi people of Burkina Faso, preserving the rich oral heritage of one of West Africa's largest ethnic groups. These stories reflect the cultural values, beliefs, and worldview of the Mossi communities, offering insights into their understanding of the world, human nature, and the relationships between people, animals, and supernatural forces. The tales serve as both entertainment and education, passing down wisdom from generation to generation through narrative traditions that have shaped Mossi identity for centuries.
