Featuring stories such as The Prince Who Insisted on Possessing the
Moon, The Dog Came to Live with Man, and The Legend of the Cunning
Terrapin and the Crane, tales from Central Africa share many
aspects of the same themes across the continent because ancient
ethnic groups expanded and migrated over many centuries bringing
the oral traditions with them. Tales in the Bantu and Banda
languages abound, the Sara and Gbaya too, each bringing their
unique inflections to the stories of Anansi or the trickster where
in the Congo, the clever water antelope is pitched against the
brutish or pompous lions or elephants. A lively and powerful
read. FLAME TREE 451: From myth to mystery, the supernatural to
horror, fantasy and science fiction, Flame Tree 451 offers a
healthy diet of werewolves and mechanical men, blood-lusty
vampires, dastardly villains, mad scientists, secret worlds, lost
civilizations and escapist fantasies. Discover a storehouse of
tales gathered specifically for the reader of the fantastic.
