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.

Useful Literature for Research

I think the content in the book is worth its price. It's more like an encyclopedia (no pictures) of epic African narratives told by indigenous bards. The book is written mostly in small texts. If you find it daunting to read big books with small letters, this might not be good for you.

print size

the print is extremely , extremely small, I would've much rather purchase this in three volumes instead of feeling like Sherlock Holmes when I am Reading it. I had my eyes on purchasing the entire anthology epic tales. But not if the print is this small. Does anyone know if that's how all the books are printed by this publisher or do they have larger print formats?

I love it, the cover is beautiful!!

Really pretty cover. Haven’t finish reading it but it’s really interesting
