The story of Shaka's rise and fall has been told before, but here an artist and a poet combine to rework the Shaka drama in a rare and stunning medium. The artist Cecil Skotnes's 43 unique woodblock prints are combined with the poet Stephen Gray's captions to tell the story of the founding father of the Zulu nation.
