Zusammenfassung:Featuring stories such as The Prince Who Insisted on Possessing the Moon, The Dog Came to Live with Man, and The Legend of the Cunning Terrapin and the Crane, tales from Central Africa share many aspects of the same themes across the continent because ancient ethnic groups expanded and migrated over many centuries bringing the oral traditions with them.

A lively and powerful read
