This is the first complete translation of Frank Edgar's TATSUNIYOYI NA HAUSA, a three volume Corpus of Hausa Folklore, History and Miscellanea The Original Hausa Volumes Contain 1200 Pages, Comprising 800 Individual Items, Ranging from Riddles to Lengthy Eyewitness Accounts of the British Occupation and Events Immediately Preceding It. There is One seventy Page Legal item, a version of the Risala (a summary of the maliki code of muslim law which was in use in Nigeria at that time). The Translation Is Also in Three Volumes, but the Order Has Been Rearranged to Bring the Folklore into the First Two Volumes and the Other matter into the Last volume.
