Amadu's Bundle

Passed down through generations, these Fulani tales of love and djinns are collected here in the form of twenty-eight short stories.

A Fulani scribe who lived in Yoba, Nigeria, Malum Amadu was a collector of stories, songs, and spells. Transcribed and translated from his notes, this collection of short stories brings together a long tradition of poetry and prose that have been told and retold from across generations.
