The King of the Snakes and Other Folklore Stories from Uganda by Rosetta Baskerville ~ Full Audiobook [folklore]

The King of the Snakes and Other Folklore Stories from Uganda by Rosetta Baskerville audiobook.

Genre: folklore

Step into a fireside world where animals speak, spirits bargain, and everyday choices ripple outward into legend. In The King of the Snakes and Other Folklore Stories from Uganda, Rosetta Baskerville gathers a vibrant set of traditional tales shaped by oral storytelling, each one carrying the beat of a spoken performance: swift openings, unforgettable characters, and lessons delivered with wit and wonder. Across these stories, clever creatures outmaneuver the strong, ordinary people stumble into the realm of the uncanny, and proud rulers - human and not - discover that power has a price. Some tales feel like origin stories, offering imaginative answers to the way the natural world behaves; others unfold as trickster contests of hunger, pride, and patience. Threaded throughout is a deep respect for communal knowledge, where proverbs and hard-won wisdom act as both warning and guide. Whether the conflict is a test of courage, a battle of cunning, or a confrontation with something monstrous in the dark, each story invites listeners to lean closer and ask: what would I do, if the King of the Snakes were listening?
