African Myths & Legends (Collector's Editions)

With its powerful tradition of storytelling, the myths of the continent of Africa have survived colonialism and enslavement, bringing together a rich diversity of cultures from Ethiopia to Tanzania, from the Xhosa people to the Yoruba.

This collection offers tales of the gods, creation stories, trickster adventures, animal fables and stories which amuse and teach; from 'The Tortoise and the Elephant', from the Akamba of Kenya, to 'Why the Moon Waxes and Wanes', from Southern Nigeria, providing an insight into the boundless and vibrant world of African myth.

The Collector's Edition series, published by Flame Tree, presents the foundations of speculative fiction: authors, myths, tales and history without which the imaginative literature of the twentieth century would not exist, bringing the best, most influential and most fascinating works into a striking and collectable library.

Format: hardcover.
