'I shall put this book on my desk and read it when there is nothing to be done in The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency' - from Mma Ramotswe's foreword.
From animal fables to mysterious forces residing in the landscape, this collection demonstrates the wealth and variety of African folk tales and the particular magic of Africa's spiritual roots.
Simple, surprising and humorous, these beautifully rendered tales demonstrate McCall Smith's renowned storytelling skill and his love of Africa, and remain as fresh and vital as in the original idiom.
- 'The author's prose has the merits of simplicity, euphony and precision … This is the art that conceals art. I haven't read anything with such unalloyed pleasure for a long time' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
