“Lady Dhegdheer, the best known character in Somali oral history and literature. Her stories are told and retold in different versions in different parts of Somalia. They were passed from generation to generation and still remain popular and unchallenged. Many people believe that the stories of the Dhegdheer (the cannibal) are legendary tales created by a popular fantasy over centuries, while many others believe that the cannibal lady did actually live and killed a great number of people. Whatever these differences are, the stories and the folk-tales of Lady Dhegdheer still remain unchallenged in the modern Somali oral literature.”
In Somali.
