There's a magic to tales and it becomes stronger in the night, especially when told under village skies. They can entertain and in some cases, take away our minds from our problems while teaching us important lessons. Once Upon a Village Tale is fiction for children that brings together a collection of memorable stories, both animal and human, to entertain and teach. There are in all of these, traditional values fixed within that will help reclaim the beauty of our humanity and more, our Africanity.
