Oral Literature refers to the body of work that encompasses stories, folklore, myths, legends, songs, and other forms of verbal art that have been traditionally transmitted through spoken word rather than written text. This category of books captures the rich and diverse cultural heritage of various communities, often preserving the wisdom, values, and historical narratives of societies where oral tradition is a primary means of communication. Books in this genre typically include transcriptions, translations, and analyses of these oral narratives, aiming to document and share the intangible cultural expressions that have been passed down through generations. By doing so, they provide readers with insights into the linguistic, social, and cultural contexts from which these stories originate, offering a unique window into the human experience as conveyed through the spoken word.
