About This Item
Millbrae, CA: Celestial Arts/A Dawne-Leigh Book, 1981. 1st US Ed. Top front corner bumped. Hardbound. 4to. 224 Pgs.. Nr Fine in Torn & Taped DJ/Poor. Meg Rutherford. Tokoloshi: African Folk Tales Retold by Diana Pitcher. Published by Celestial Arts/A Dawne-Leigh Book, Millbrae, CA, 1981. 1st US Edition. Hardbound. Paper DJ. Size 4to (up to 12'' tall). Condition: Nr Fine in Torn & Taped DJ. Top front corner bumped. 64 Pgs. ISBN 0705000818. LCCN 80-28470. Illustrated by Meg Rutherford. In this book of African folklore you will meet Vugiswe, the Zulu boy, and sit with him under the wait-a-minute trees on the African plain listening to the wonderful stories that his mother, First Woman, has to tell about Hare and Crocodile, about Lion Cub and Hyena, about Fire and Water, and about Tokoloshi himself, who is a very powerful imp even though he is only as long as you pointing finger and as dark as a moonless night. You will find out why Ape has no tail, why Mosquito buzzes so angrily, and why Elephant... but it would be a pity to spoil the stories by telling too much about them. They are simple but enthralling, for they contain many secrets of Nkulunkulu's creation. Description text copyright 2011 BooksForComfort. Item ID 25395.
