Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This new edition of the long-out-of print classic collection of
Bushman tales provides a fascinating look into the life of these
little-known people. As Megan Biesele writes in her Foreword: "The
fact that a family of trained linguists and their associates sat
down between 1870 and 1884 with a group of /Xam people who had been
temporarily sprung free of imprisonment in Cape Town's Breakwater
Prison has immense potential consequences. San people today, like
indigenous peoples all over the world, are quietly organizing
educational futures for themselves which will make fine use of this
record of the intellectual history of their culture." This edition
reproduces the English text of the 1911 edition and is richly
illustrated with photographs.

With a style reminiscent of oral tradition, the Bushmen share their
legends about their principal deity, the Mantis, their relationship
with their environment and its animals, and some aspects of their
traditions and everyday lives. "En un estilo que refleja la
tradicion oral a la que corresponden sus historias, los bosquimanos
narran sus leyendas relativas a su deidad principal, el Mantis, a
su relacion con el entorno y los animales, y a algunos rasgos de la
convivencia al interior de sus sociedades."
