These are traditional tales told by grandmothers at the night fire, collected in southern Africa and retold for children: Setuli the king of the birds, a king’s son and his magic song, and stories of monsters, clever animals and enchanted gifts. The compilers write with affection for the tellers, though they use the colonial terms of 1908 for the African peoples.
