About this audiobook
This is a 3-book bundle, which addresses various subtopics, including but not limited to these:
Book 1: The Africans have a long history, although not everything has been preserved in writing. And many folklore stories have been passed on through generations. The African tribes vary as much as the colors of the rainbow.
It is for these reasons, and entertainment as well, that this book has been put together. It entails several mythological tales that refer to African gods, creatures, and entities. Some of these have morals. Others are symbolic of one thing or another.
All in all, this is a short but fun and intriguing book about African culture and ancient religions from that region.
Book 2: The African people hide secret treasures of wisdom and spiritual insights. In this guide, you will become more familiar with some of the most common gods and goddesses in African tribal worship.
Moreover, you will read or listen to some interesting stories that were told from one generation to the next. Some of these myths may inspire you, others might confuse you, but in a general sense, it is useful and fascinating to learn more about them.
Book 3: The extensive history of Africa provides us with a topic of curiosity and novelty. For this reason, this guide has been composed to help you understand some of the cultural anecdotes as well as the religious and traditional tales that have been told to previous generations.
When we dive into some background information, you will have a better grasp of the context of the four intense stories that follow.
Enjoy this short, simple yet profound compilation of African myths.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Not bad. In fact, I would almost say that it's excellent. I almost overlooked this book, but I am actually happy that I saw it anyway. It makes a lot of sense what the writer states, especially in the last handful of chapters, where the matter becomes a conclusion. Such an enjoyable topic. I believe I will let my brother or sisters spouse listen to it. They have to know that there are actually audiobooks like this out there.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Whenever you're inspired about anything, you generally tell other people about it. So, that's what I'm doing. This audiobook was actually well worth paying attention to, in my personal opinion. This is the supreme mix of an excellent narrator and an excellent author, who teamed up and decided to turn this into a helpful product. Good for them.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I enjoyed this topic, so I grabbed this book. The articulation of the words in this audio book was great, as well as all the info contained in it. Based on that, I am actually happy that I bought the book. It was actually worth my time. It's an appealing idea, the entire premise of this book. You do not normally see that in some other books. And that's exactly why it can use an individual like me to write a few positive things about it.

I do not always appreciate any audio books, but this one stood out. And because it did, I began listening closely to it. It was some of the best time I spent, especially since I was doing some other things in the meantime.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I endorse this book for a variety of reasons. By far, one of the best books within this area of interest. I have actually seen that some books are practically trash, and that grieves me. However, this specific audiobook didn't follow that pattern. It's actually truly good. So, I love it.
