Description
Africa's rich cultural heritage is reflected in its diverse traditions and customs. Despite the continent's varied cultures, many folk tales and legends have been passed down through generations, sharing common elements and characters. This collection brings together a selection of these stories, including 'Obatala Creates Mankind' from the Yoruba people of west Africa, and 'The Girl Of The Early Race, Who Made Stars', from the San people of southern Africa. These tales offer a glimpse into the continent's fascinating mythology, exploring themes such as creation, trickster exploits, and animal fables. With stories like these, it's no wonder that storytelling has played a vital role in African cultures for centuries. This beautifully presented hardback edition features gold-foiled and embossed details, making it a treasure to own.
