Le recueil est publié pour la première fois en 1947. Selon Roland Colin, ces contes « nous révèlent la fine fleur de l'art des griots de l'Afrique de l'Ouest, et Birago Diop a su trouver avec bonheur l'expression française qui rend la succulence et le soleil des paroles nègres. Il a rendu ses contes audibles au lecteur européen le moins averti de l'âme noire, en lui ciselant toutes les finesses de l'émotion et de la sensation africaine des êtres et des choses. [...] Il nous a ouvert l'une des voies qui mènent à l'Esprit négro-africain. » (fr)
