The vast continent of Africa contains many different bodies of myth, deriving from its widely varioius peoples, social structures and physical environments. The variety is striking, so are the resemblances, and in this book Geoffrey Parrinder gives a full account of the black Africans thoughts about their lives and beliefs. He then retells the stories themselves, stories that are fascinating for both the strangeness of the environment and the familiarity if man.
