A Wonderful selection and Variety of African Tales

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It has a wonderful mix of animal tales, supernatural tales and magic!The author has a superb handle on the written word and keeps the true feel of a good storyteller. You can almost imagine yourself hearing these tales told around a campfire! Children and adults will enjoy the rich mixture of tales. Highly recommended!
