This book tells stories about many strange characters like witches, witchdoctors, mediums, diviners, mystics, ghosts, ogres, mermen and mermaids, human beings who claim to be able to change into wild animals, wild animlas possessed by strange wisdom or spirits. Here are the myths of the mountains, the rivers, waterfalls and forests; the wonderful dreams of many people whose minds have groped in the dark in search of a tiny light to illuminate the immensity of space and the baffling riddles of the universe.

Once Upon Southern Africa is a collection of fifty tales from around the tip of Africa. The countries in Southern Africa offer such a wealth of experiences. I know this because I lived in Zambia for two years and took every opportunity possible to travel the region. But, just like my tales from West Africa, these stories rarely end with the words "and they all lived happily ever after."

This collection of folktales from South Africa has been put together the author says, not for scholarship but for a love of the sunny country where he was born. Some stories originate from Dutch sources, and some have several versions. Most are tales told by the bushmen.

Africa south of the Sahara is a land of wide-ranging traditions and varying cultures. Despite the diversity and the lack of early written records, the continent possesses a rich body of folk tales and legends that have been passed down through the strong custom of storytelling and which often share similar elements, characters and ideas between peoples. So this collection offers a hefty selection of legends and tales – stories of the gods, creation and origins, trickster exploits, animal fables and stories which entertain and edify – from ‘Obatala Creates Mankind’, from the Yoruba people of west Africa, to ‘The Girl Of The Early Race, Who Made Stars’, from the San people of southern Africa, all collected in a gorgeous gold-foiled and embossed hardback to treasure.
