The book showcases a plethora of tales that feature anthropomorphic animals, each brimming with moral lessons and cultural insights. Nassau's prose is marked by a lyrical quality that mirrors traditional oral storytelling, illuminating the significance of rhythm and repetition in folk narratives.
By situating these stories within their sociocultural contexts, he invites readers to engage with the rich tapestry of beliefs and values that underpin West African life.

This captivating collection is a testament to the power of storytelling as a means of cultural preservation and education. I highly recommend "Where Animals Talk" to anyone interested in folklore, anthropology, or African culture.
