African Stories Database
The African Proverbs, Sayings and Stories website team is proud to announce it’s newest feature: “The African Stories Database.”
For a long time we have wanted to dedicate a specific section of our website to an extensive collection of “African Stories.” We have created the African Stories Database
The African Stories Database has been created to provide searchable, user-friendly access to a collection of over 1,000 African stories (of which 586 stories are presently in the database) including folk tales, historical fiction pieces, myths, parables, poems, prayers, riddles, song-proverbs and true stories. This feature enables users to find African stories for a wide variety of interests and occasions. The content of this database is made of up stories containing over 140 different themes and sub-themes. The stories integrated in this database are in the public domain and can be re-used and interpreted as you wish. If you use a story please acknowledge the source. If you use a story we would appreciate you letting the Moderator (Moderator@afriprov.org) know so we can share this news with others.
If you have a new African story to add to this database, please send it to the Moderator (Moderator@afriprov.org).
NB (An abbreviation for the Latin phrase “nota bene” meaning “note well.” It is used to emphasize an important point): Enter the title or theme or author’s name or city or country in the white search box on the right and click “enter.”
