Originally published in 1969, this book is a translation of Frank
Edgar's Hausa folk stories, which was made primarily in Sokoto
Province at the direction of Major John Alder, who in 1910 gave
Edgar some Hausa texts written in the Ajemic script for
transliteration into Roman characters. Edgar prepared the the first
volme of the Tatsuniyoyi for publication in 1911. The Hausa whose
folklore Edgar recorded so industriously are the largest ethnic
group in Northern Nigeria and number many millions and these tales
of past events show how Hausa conceive the histories of their
states, the characters of their rulers, and their institutions of
government and law. These traditions are thus equally important as
documents of folk thought and as historical sources.
