| 520 | _a"Ikom Folk Stories from Southern Nigeria" by Elphinstone Dayrell is a collection of folktales written in the early 20th century. The volume presents a rich tapestry of cultural narratives from the Ikom district, encapsulating various aspects of local traditions, marriage customs, and moral lessons delivered through engaging stories. These tales often revolve around characters like animals, humans, and supernatural beings, each conveying deeper societal values and norms. The opening of this collection sets the stage for a journey into the oral tradition of the Ikom people. Dayrell, drawing upon his experiences and interactions with the locals as a district commissioner, introduces a range of characters, starting with Awu, a woman who abandons one of her newborn twins in the forest out of shame. The story unfolds as the abandoned twin, Agbor, is miraculously saved by a hawk, leading to themes of maternal regret and the connection between animals and humans in their cultural storytelling. This poignant beginning hints at the narratives that blend humor, drama, and moral lessons that are characteristic of folklore, inviting readers to explore the vibrant world of Ikom and its traditions.
