About the Author

The late Phyllis Savory was a wellestablished collector and reteller of African tales. This, her last collection of folklore, comprises 39 stories drawn from all parts of Southern Africa and further afield. Illustrated with detailed drawings by Gina Daniel, it will delight adults as well as children. True to the spirit of African stories, the tales are especially suitable for reading aloud.
