"This is my wish that the voice of the narrator shall never die in Africa, that all children in Africa may experience the wonder of books and will never lose the ability to broaden their earthly living place with stories."
Thus Nelson Mandela ends his foreword to this brilliant collection African stories for children. Stories that are as colorful as Africa itself and originating from Zimbabwe, Swaziland, South Africa and Lesotho and others.
The stories are told by a variety of African authors and the illustrations are also made by various African artists. It makes the book interesting and divers, full of colourful gems. We would love to show all illustrations here, but better buy or borrow the book yourself, then you can take your time to look at all of them.
A treasure for life, this beautiful book with a nice extra! Part of the proceeds from this book will go to the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund (source: Lemniscaat Ltd)
