Nelson Mandela's Favorite African FolktalesIn these beloved stories we meet a Kenyan lion named Simba, a snake with seven heads, and tricksters from Zulu folklore; we hear the voices of the scheming hyena, and we learn from a Khoi fable how animals acquired their tails and horns. Creation myths tell us how the land, its animals, and its people all came into existence under a punishing sun or against the backdrop of a spectacularly beautiful mountain landscape. Whether warning children about

In these beloved stories we meet a Kenyan lion named Simba, a snake with seven heads, and tricksters from Zulu folklore; we hear the voices of the scheming hyena, and we learn from a Khoi fable how animals acquired their tails and horns. Creation myths tell us how the land, its animals, and its people all came into existence under a punishing sun or against the backdrop of a spectacularly beautiful mountain landscape. Whether warning children about the dangers of disobedience or demonstrating that the underdog can, and often does, win, these stories, through their depiction of wise animals as well as evil monsters, are universal in their portrayal of humanity, beasts, and the mystical. Translated from their original languages--Karanga, Nguni, Xhosa, and many others--these folktales are a testament to the craft of storytelling and the power of myth.

Great Bag!
I used this bag all over Europe this summer! It was so easy and convenient to have access to my wallet, sunscreen, sunglasses in one spot over my best. The bag was super cute and held a lot of items. The thick strap was really good for support and even held up during the really hot days. There are a few different pockets which is helpful as well. I recommend this bag! :)

Nice pink, bigger than expected
Color: Rose Red
Bigger than expected, I bought four my niece, she likes it and I think once she gets some items in it and break it in. It’s a nice shade of pink and I really like the strap.

Great for the price
I'm really happy with this bag, especially for the price. The two pockets are nice and large enough to fit my kindle, so I was excited about that. The card holders built in to the bag make it easy to just take the few card you need without bringing a whole wallet.

Perfect Size
Colors are spot on. This is my second one to own, I love the size because it’s not too big, not too small. I can carry one of these bags everyday for about a year before any wear starts to show. The strap is beautiful and I have gotten compliments on it a lot.
