Byron Gibson fbg111da6e — The Lost Art of Oral History Reverend Father Innocent Emechete, a Catholic priest born in Nigeria, West Africa, is a master educator. He is informed by degrees on philosophy, English literature, Theology, education, journalism, and guidance and counseling: he has taught English in high schools and colleges and has served as a chaplain in US state and federal Correctional systems. He is widely published on many subjects, but this particular book finds a special importance in the mind of a man so devoted as a humanitarian. ANIMAL STORIES DADDY TOLD US is a terrific collection of short stories (very well illustrated with paintings and drawings by artist Theo. Nwaodu) of tales from Africa that have as their characters the many animal members of that society - some cleverly called by their African names, other by the common names all of us know well. The stories are entertaining tales that address certain aspects for the young reader to learn - the results of greed, of attempting to outsmart friends and the consequences of same, deception, risk taking, abusing those who gift us - the list goes on. Each concept is filled with sidebars of adventure, a taste of comedy, and a swirl of imagination that makes each moral drive home. At the end of each of the stores Emechete lists several questions for the reader to assure the point of the story has been understood and absorbed. These stories are not unlike those written for children around the world, stories with a lesson such as 'Three Little Pigs', 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears', ' Little Red Riding Hood': the technique of teaching children humanity and moral behavior fills these stories also. But the big difference in Emechete's stories is explained in his fine Introduction. In Africa, where the ability to read and write has always been a much wanted but too often lost ability, these stories have been passed through generations by the oral tradition: stories are memorized, then shared at evening family gatherings preparing the children to remember the stories to pass on purely by word of mouth to their own descendants. There is charm in these tales and there is a shared concern that young people learn from adults who can, by means of these tales, encourage the path toward good citizens instead of being lost to a life of 'misguided occupations'. There are many reasons to add this collection of animal stories to your family library. It is rich in charm, in entertainment, and in tender education. A remarkable achievement! Grady Harp

Elizabeth Underwood skeletal — Okay, so I'm not through it yet (read Swann's Way 3 years ago or so) and just haven't been able to get back to it. Proust is just a bit verbose (surprise, surprise) and it's quite an effort to read...
