Liberia has a rich and wonderful culture hidden away in its Oral Tradition. This book explores this wealth of knowledge lodged in the great minds of our elders. The characters are in every sense ordinary people who did the extraordinary. The pain and sorrows, joy and happiness they experienced are similar to what we all feel, but they did not relent. These stories are educative, have loads of morals and yet, entertaining enough to give the whole family moments of laughter. They are our equivalent of Snow White and Cinderella. Sadly, they face the risk of dying off if no one tells them. They are perfect for teaching Liberian cultural values and legends to our younger ones. And to those who have lost touch or those seeking to regain the taste of Liberian folklore, look no further, this is the book you need.

Once Upon West Africa is a collection of fifty Liberian folk tales I collected as a Peace Corps Volunteer. These tales do not end with the words "and they all lived happily ever after." The tales from Liberia frequently taught a lesson where the evil, rotten, nasty person - usually that trickster Spider - gets it in the end. They are stories that deal with right and wrong, good and evil, justice and injustice. It's a rare story that has anyone living happily ever after - especially the one who needs to learn the lesson.
