Nigerian Folktales and Children's Stories by Chinua Achebe.
Balogun, F. Odun
Journal of Black Studies, v20 n4 p426-42 Jun 1990
Reviews three folktales and a children's novella, "Chike and the River," by the Nigerian author and compares them to his adult short stories. Observes that, aside from differences in scale or degree, the style of his children's stories is basically the same as that of his adult works. (FMW)
