About the book:

A stunning new cover, design and format brings African Myths & Legends, a combination of two earlier publications (Daughter of the moonlight and Other African Tales and South African Myths and Legends), to life.

It is a spellbinding and fascinating collection of tales that will enliven the imagination of young readers.

Vividly illustrated, the book sustains the intrigue of storytelling that has been passed on from generati on to generati on. The magic lies in deciding whether the stories are fact or fiction.

The book off ers an explanati on for the mysteries people encountered in their ordinary daily lives and the norms and social practi ces that have emerged from these events. Using historical events as a backdrop, yet weaving in fantasy and magic, these extraordinary tales are not only interesti ng but also highly informative and educational.
