Africa south of the Sahara is a land of wide-ranging traditions and
varying cultures. Despite the diversity and the lack of early
written records, the continent possesses a rich body of folk tales
and legends that have been passed down through the strong custom of
storytelling and which often share similar elements, characters and
ideas between peoples. So this collection offers a hefty selection
of legends and tales - stories of the gods, creation and origins,
trickster exploits, animal fables and stories which entertain and
edify - from 'Obatala Creates Mankind', from the Yoruba people of
west Africa, to 'The Girl Of The Early Race, Who Made Stars', from
the San people of southern Africa, all collected in a gorgeous
gold-foiled and embossed hardback to treasure.
