Publisher's Synopsis
There is a storyteller in almost every village in Africa. Telling stories is not her official job. By day she may be a Gogo, a teacher, a farmer or a seamstress. But at night, roundthe fire, she will sit surrounded by young children, old friends, neighbours and travellers. She will tell of how it was in the olden days. This children's treasury of legends and fables, of witchdoctors and kingdoms of strange creatures and talking animals, celebrates Africa and its ancient storytelling culture.
