Description

Fom the cradle of mankind comes a kaleidoscope of a book refracting Africa in its myriad facets and hues: the dizzying glare of the hot African sun, the blue haze of the mountains on the horizon, the merciful respite offered by water and foliage, the stratagems and wiles of the creatures, both animal and human, who people this harsh continent, and their bounteous humanity, great hearts and ever-ready laughter.

Here are to be found tales as old as Africa itself, told around the evening fires since time immemorial, tales from the heritage of the San and the Khoi, original hunter-gatherers and first pastoralists, down to the imaginings of those who came from the sea in great ships with billowing sails.
