Great collection of short and humorous folktales, reflecting the beauty and evils of Black life and imagination.

I read this book as a child during the 1970s, and happened to re-read it this year, just prior to the author‘s passing. I don‘t think a lot of black men were writing books for children in 1969. I‘m grateful to Julius Lester and illustrator Tom Feelings.
