Review
“Like all folk tales, there is often a moral lurking in the African traditional story. The values that one can detect in these African stories are the deep values of African societies, and we are given a glimpse of what it is that makes Sub-Saharan Africa so special.” (Alexander McCall Smith, from his foreword)
