Folk Tales From Africa: Baboons Who Went This Way And That

Description:
A man with a tree growing out of his head? A woman with children made of wax? A bird that can be milked? With more stories from his original celebration of African folktales, 'The Girl Who Married A Lion', let Alexander McCall Smith once again take you to a land where the bizarre is everyday and magic is real.

Review:
''A collection of charm and tenderness' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Deceptively elegant... these brilliant stories shine through in a way that is wholesome, engaging and highly rewarding' HERALD 'These stories are still beautiful; creating a wryly humorous place where the animal and human worlds are fluidly in touch with each other, and, as in all the best fables, you take a lesson away with you' METRO'
