Abstract
This series of four booklets may be my first find from East Africa. This volume has four folktales with one illustration apiece and a frontispiece. The tales are not fables in the Aesopic sense. If anything, the four manifest the two differences I find separating African tales from Mediterranean fables. Set a thief to catch a thief develops several phases of the story, which thus risks becoming episodic. The other stories have, for us, inconclusive Eh! So what?! endings.
