A definitive compendium of African myth and folktale, retold in rich, vibrant prose, Indaba, My Children is a literary and ethnographic achievement. As a young man, Vusamazulu Credo Mutwa, a Zulu from the South African province of Natal, was determined to follow in the foot-steps of his grandfather and become a tribal historian in order to keep the rich oral tradition of his culture alive - a classic and indispensable resource for anyone interested in the cultural life of Africa and the human experience as it is filtered into myth. http://credomutwa.com/books/indaba-my-children/
