Compilation Of African Folk Tradition.

Although Not in Great detail this book is able to scratch the surface of many African myths as well as provide a basis for the folk tradition of African tribes all through Africa. The book does an exceptional job however at presenting the reasoning for African myths as well as conecting the myths between cultures. Recomended for any fan of Myth who wants a brief outline of African myth for their collection or simply just a quick read or refference. I would recomend checking out the rest of the "Myth and Mankind" series as they disect the beliefs of 19 different cultures from The Greeks to the Mayan.
