The tales of Jackal and Wolf are to South Africans what apple pie
is to Americans. No one should grow up without them. Yet the sly
Jackal and the whimsical Wolf is older than apple pie. These
stories come from the Khoi-Khoi, a group of Bushmen who narrated
them into existence shortly after the Stone Age. "Animal Tales
Volume 1" is the first book in a series of animal stories compiled
by G. R. von Wielligh, who heard them as a child and who spent his
adult life documenting them for future generations. In this
edition, freshly translated into modern English, the stories get a
new look thanks to the beautiful, full-color illustrations of Dale
Blankenaar."Animal Tales Volume 1" is a compilation of 15 stories.
We read about the big war between the walking and the flying
animals; we are told who gets crowned as the king of the animals
and we meet sly Jackal and poor, gullible Wolf. In "Animal Tales
Volume 2" among the 15 additional stories, we meet Tiger, Crocodile
and Rabbit, while poor Wolf still suffers under the hand of Jackal
and is often outwitted by Jackal. We also discover why Tortoise is
such a gloomy fellow and how he came to learn that honesty is
better than lying. We also read that even a clever animal like
Baboon can be fooled.
