Description:
In Africa great treasuries of fairy tales still live in people's heads and have never been written down. Elizabeth Laird -- a winner of the Reader's Choice award and the Children's Book award -- spent two years traveling around Ethiopia and collecting the tales in this anthology. The stories reflect different religions and cultures, each with varying notions of God, heaven, and the spirit world. Readers will enjoy the funny stories with a twist, the exciting adventure stories of brave warriors and hunters, the clever stories of cunning and trickery, along with stories about ogres and kings and merchants and farmers and animals.
