Burtuntuna Story (and Others - Help Needed!) by LisbonForeigner(op): 11:40am On Dec 24, 2016
Dear fellow Nairalanders,

I am teaching a course on African Literatures in Portugal early in 2017. I would like to include traditional Nigerian literature because it is so rich and unknown in Portugal. Can anyone PLEASE help me find the story of Burtuntuna  (in English or in Hausa, I can read a little Hausa)? Does any of you know this story? I googled it but did not find the full text. Also I would very very much appreciate any other texts of traditional Hausa folktales (in Hausa or in English - full texts). I have Igbo, Fulani and Yoruba friends who helped me with folktales in their languages, but sadly I don't have any Hausa friends to help me.

I thank you very much in advance!
