Tales told in Togoland

Abstract

In the Following Pages I Have Collected Tales Told Me By Peasants and Hunters in Various Parts of Togoland. The Final Chapter Deals With the History of the Dagomba, a History Collected By The Sole Efforts Of Mr. E. F. Tamakloe. I Have Made No Attempt at a Comparative Study of the Folk-Lore Contained In This Volume. Such a Task Is Now Too Great To Undertake, Except After Much Study and Reading, And In The Quietude of Some English Home. Therefore I Have Merely Recorded the Tales and Legends and Myths As They Have Been Related, Contenting Myself with the Interesting Task of Their Co-Ordination.
