Adapted by Verna Aardema from the story of The Man and the Snake to be found in Ray Huffman's 1931 Nuer Customs and Folklore, this traditional tale was published in 1960, and accompanied by the illustrations of Elton C. Fax, the celebrated African-American artist who also worked on Aardema's Tales from the Story Hat and The Na of Wa. Both Otwe and The Na of Wa were revised and republished in the 1980s - Otwe as What's So Funny, Ketu?: A Nuer Tale and The Na of Wa as Oh Kojo! How Could You!: An Ashanti Tale - accompanied by new artwork from Marc Brown. Having already read the revised version, I'm glad to have picked up this original. I don't know that I enjoyed Fax's artwork as much as I did Brown's, in the later version, but it was still interesting to see the story accompanied in a different style. The story itself is engaging, full of fun and humor, and is sure to find an appreciative audience with young folklore enthusiasts. ( )
