About this audiobook
In the Early settler days, the British did more than go to war. Many found the local folklore and beliefs fascinating, and collected them together. This is one of the first explorations of South African folk tales.
Come now for stories of the naughty Jackal as he tricks Lion and Leopard, or how Tortoise shows his great cunning. Of Hare and Heron and Wildebeest, and all the other majestic creatures that roam the savannah and jungles.
Book versions include images of South African animals central to the stories told herein.
