Gathering
a
wide
range
of
traditional
African
myths,
this
compelling
new
collection
offers
tales
of
heroes
battling
mighty
serpents
and
monstrous
birds,
brutal
family
conflict
and
vengeance,
and
desperate
migrations
across
vast
and
alien
lands.
From
impassioned
descriptions
of
animal-creators
to
dramatic
stories
of
communities
forced
to
flee
monstrous
crocodiles,
all
the
narratives
found
here
concern
origins
-
whether
of
the
universe,
peoples
or
families.
Together,
they
create
a
kaleidoscopic
picture
of
the
rich
and
varied
oral
traditions
that
have
shaped
the
culture
and
society
of
successive
generations
of
Africans
for
thousands
of
years,
throughout
the
long
struggle
to
survive
and
explore
this
massive
and
environmentally
diverse continent.
