Traditional Ewe Stories Retold in English - by Anna Cottrell

Published 2007 by Matador ISBN 978-1906221-584

This collection of original and traditional stories really is by the people, for the people.

This book gives and insight into each unique storyteller. Two and a half awe-inspiring hours spent with 84 year old Mr Nutsugah where one story flowed seamlessly into another. A day recording the fishermen in Anyako, as goats jumped up to eat bananas on the table, wide-eyed children wandered in and out. cocks crowed, men sawed and hammered just a few feet away.

All the money made from this book goes to the storytellers.
