Myths and legends of Africa - Margret Carey

Condition: Pre-loved

Throughout Africa a great oral tradition of literature exists in the fascinating folklore of the continent. These myths, often recounted with music & mime, help to put in perspective how the Africans see their own lives & traditions. The collection of stories in this book are grouped according to their provenance, and -retold by the author with remarkable feeling for their original style As well as artists' impressions of these tales, the book is richly illustrated with examples of African art - whose aestheic value the West has become increasingly appreciative of in the recent past.
