Abstract: en_US Here are twenty-five African--apparently Congolese--tales, each with a little narrative introduction bringing Wembi to his audience. I have read the first six. The sixth would qualify as a fable: the antelope helps the spider out of compassion, and then the spider finds a surprising way to help the antelope. Others among the first six could be fables, but tend to be spun out at greater length, including a good deal of repetition. In any case, the stories are well and engagingly told. The simple, playful designs make for fun along the way.
