The book is a compilation of traditional West African folktales, reflecting the rich oral storytelling traditions of the region. Nassau, an American missionary and scholar who spent time in West Africa, collected these stories to preserve and share the cultural heritage of the people he encountered."Where Animals Talk" features a range of stories in which animals are prominent characters, often exhibiting human-like traits and engaging in moral lessons. These tales are deeply embedded in the cultural and spiritual beliefs of West African communities and often serve to impart wisdom, teach values, and explain natural phenomena through allegory and symbolism.
