Description
A magnificent collector's edition. Thanks to a rich tradition of storytelling, myths of the African continent have survived colonialism and slavery, blending a diverse array of cultures from Ethiopia to Tanzania, from the Xhosa people to the Yoruba. This collection features stories about gods, tales of creatures, adventures of tricksters, fairy tales, and stories about animals that entertain and educate, from “Turtle and Elephant,” from Akamba in Kenya, to “Why the Moon Waxed and Faded” from southern Nigeria, providing insight into the boundless and vibrant world of African myth.
Flame Tree collector's editions showcase the foundations of speculative fiction, authors, myths, and stories without which 20th-century imaginative literature would not exist, bringing the most influential, compelling, and fascinating works into an impressive and collectible library. Each book includes a new introduction and a glossary of terms.
